Old Town of Corfu
Corfu Town, Greece
A UNESCO-listed old town of arcades, pastel buildings, fortresses and narrow lanes.

Greece

Before you plan: Ferry timetables and some archaeological sites change by season or because of strikes and wildfire risk in summer, so check official sources before you travel.
