Corfu Town - Kerkyra

[Liston] [Gold and Jewelry] [Staint Spiridons Church] [Corfu Town Wlaking Guide] [The Fort] [Palace of Staint Michael]

Liston

The town is a maze of narrow streets dominated by the 16th century fortress. Around every corner can you can find a chapel, old mansion or secret garden square. The caft the Liston: built by the French in the same style as those in Rue de Rivoli, Paris; is probably the place to 'people watch' while enjoying a Ginger beer.

Ginger Beer

(Tsitsibira) - Ginger beer is a legacy of the British protectorate and the drink is still made to the traditional recipe of grated ginger, lemon juice and oil, water and sugar. Enjoy it at the famous Liston in Corfu town while 'people watching'.

Ginger Beer is a very spicy soft drink with sediment at the bottom. Needs to be served chilled and definitely puts to shame any other brands of ginger beer that are readily available elsewhere. A lovely soft drink that certainly sets the taste buds off.

Gold and Jewelry

The narrow streets radiating off from the Liston, house small shops of every commercial nature. Dominated by the 'gold shops'. Corfiot craftsmen excel at designing and making Greek jewelry in gold - this coupled with competitive prices may tempt you.

Among the bustle, look out for those shops and stalls selling local items like wild honey, fig cakes and handmade lace.

Staint Spiridons Church

Staint Spiridon's Church, home to the Corfu's patron 'mummified' saint, is just behind the Liston. The church is impressive and worth visiting, but ensure you are suitably dressed, otherwise you may be turned away.

Four times a year, is the saint Spiridon procession.

Palace of Staint Michael

The Palace of Staint Michael and Staint George, to the left of the Liston, was built by the British and used as the official residence of the Governor. Prince Philip was born there. It was the site of the 1994 EU Summit meeting.

The Fort

Facing the Liston Esplanade is the New Fort which was built between the 6th & 19th centuries. It was built on a man made island and has some stunning architecture.

During the summer there are nightly musical performances of Sound & Light. (The second world war British hospital at the center of the fort has now been turned into a music school.) The fort is worth a visit, especially for those who enjoy a historical hot day out.

Some may find the excellent Fort caf welcome retreat from the sun.

The Palace of St. Michael and St. George

To the left of the Liston, was built by the British and used as the official residence of the Governor. Prince Philip was born there. It was the site of the 1994 EU Summit meeting.
