The Ionian Islands region

Corfu is the most interesting and cosmopolitan of the seven Ionian islands, or the Eptanisa. The greenest of the Greek islands, Corfu has over three million olive trees and is renown for its flower-strewn countryside, its splendid coastal scenery and excellent secluded beaches.

Corfu Town is one of the most attractive cities in the whole of Greece, with its mixture of architecture and cultures.

The city is located in the middle of the island's east coast and is built on a small promontory which divides the town into two parts. Despite the damage it suffered from bombing raids during the second world war, it still retains a strong Venetian style. The large and beautiful Spianada square is the focal point of the city. On the west side of Spianada lies the Liston, a replica of the Rue de Rivoli in Paris and designed in 1809 by Matthieu de Lesseps. The Old Fort, built by the Venetians, lies on the east side. To the north of Spianada stands the Palace of St. Michael and St. George. The Palace was designed by a British architect in 1823 and was used as the official residence of the Governor and as the headquarters of the Knights of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. It now houses the Museum of Asian Art and an Art Gallery. Just behind the Liston, is the church of Agios Spyridonas, dedicated to the patron saint of the island of Corfu. It was built in 1589. On the exterior of the church is a tall, castellated bell-tower with a clock which resembles that of Saint George in Venice.
