Corfu Town, with its stunning Old Town, is another jewel in the crown of the Ionian Islands. Steeped in history and culture, this UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts Venetian architecture and narrow cobbled streets that invite you to wander through time. The old fort stands tall as a testament to Corfu's strategic importance throughout centuries. As you explore these islands further on a map or delve into historical records like the Map of Macedonian and Thracian Empire or Italian maps from 1537 showcasing Greek island Corfu's position in the Ionian Sea, you'll uncover their significance within Europe's intricate tapestry. Nature lovers will be captivated by Almyros Beach near Acharavi on Corfu Island.
