You haven't discovered holidays in Kerkyra town yet? It's about time you did.
Kerkyra Town's split into Old and New Towns. The New is where normal life goes on. The Old is an astonishing mish-mash of cultures – it practically screams aristocracy, thanks to the influence of the Venetians, French and Imperial Brits. And this is the backdrop for your bargain holiday to Corfu Town.
The Liston and the Esplanadae make up the Old Town. The Liston - once a promenade used by nobility - is now the best place to sip coffee in the sun. The Esplanade is Europe's largest square, with the beach is at one end and a Sunday bandstand at the other. Quirky shops sell gold, wild honey and fig cakes in the alleyways off the Liston, while New Kerkyra town is home to cosmopolitan boutiques. Drink in the aromas and colours of the market, piled high with olives and oranges. Shopaholic heaven. Bit of a history buff? A 16th century fortress watches over the town, complete with archaeology museums. Step into the incensed cool of St. Spiridon's Church, home to the mummified remains of Corfu's patron saint. Go sightseeing in style in a horse drawn carriage. The sun is setting and tummies are rumbling. Intimate tavernas dish up Greek delights. Celebs feast at Xenichtis, a stylish French restaurant. Sit back on the Liston, listening to music and chatter. Or get down in the clubs and discos dotted about in New Kerkyra town.

Guide to Kerkyra holidays
Whatever you're looking for, one of the most elegant island capitals in Greece is just the starting point for a journey of discovery. Corfu town (Kerkyra) is the pretty, cosmopolitan capital of the island of Corfu, dominated by the striking images of the old fort, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel and flanked by yacht and fishing harbours, and the church of Saint Spiridon, a domed church that houses the remains of Corfu island's patron saint. With a small beach and easy access to surrounding areas of historical and aesthetic interest, this is the place to visit to experience a mixture of cultural influences and to combine sightseeing with a good dose of relaxation. Mon Repos is the main town beach and is a small patch of sand with a cafe. Beyond the town, some of the best beaches of the whole archipelago, ranging from long sandy stretches to pretty shingle bays, wait to welcome you.
Kerkyra town is a great place to find excellent seafood and the best place to go is the Garitsa seafront, where there are plenty of fine restaurants. The Liston is a good place to go for lunch with a view of the Esplanade, although prices can be high. With numerous bars and restaurants, there is a lot to keep tourists happy in Corfu Town. Most of the discos are situated in a small area a couple of kilometres north of the town and are frequented by locals and tourists alike. There are quieter options dotted about the town including the open-air cinema which shows mainly English-language films. There is a commercial centre slightly inland and away from the old town, although this is a much more interesting place to shop. Try not to get lost shopping for the local olive wood items and jewellery that can be found here. An old morning market selling fish and farm produce can be found near the New Fort.
For a spot of sightseeing, you don't need to step outside of the resort. The Old Town is the most interesting place to visit and huddles around a great central esplanade with public gardens and a cricket ground providing a pleasant escape for locals and tourists alike. The British influence is evident in grand municipal buildings, while the French made their mark with the Liston, an archaded block overlooking the esplanade that provides the perfect venue for a sip of ginger beer beneath the arches. 18th-century Venetian architecture is evident in the winding streets of the old town where colourful shops draw the attention below and the week's washing hangs from balconies high above.
