Ideal for year-round holidays, Corfu is distinguished by its high, white cliffs, lush, mountainous interior, its hidden bays sandy beach and its historic centre full of souvenir shops and bars. Here the promenade begins at viale Liston and its splendid arcades, built during French rule and inspired by the famous Rue de Rivoli. The city has a rich and varied architecture, the result of different cultural influences over time. Before the French, the island was ruled by the Venetians, becoming a strategic port for the control of the’Southern Adriatic, as demonstrated by the Old Fortress overlooking the sea, itself built on the ruins of a Byzantine tower. After the Congress of Vienna, Corfu became a protectorate of the United Kingdom, which left its traces in the magnificent Palace of St Michael and St George, now home to the Museum of Asian Art.
