Sights & Activities
The grand seaside esplanade, known as the Spianada , is lined by an arcaded promenade,
the Liston . Built by the French as a precursor to Paris' Rue de Rivoli, today the Liston,
with its swathe of packed cafes, is the town's social hub. At the Spianada's northern end
stands the grand neoclassical Palace of St Michael and St George. Inland, marble-paved
streets lined with shops lead to the bustling modern town, centred around busy Plateia
San Rocco (G Theotoki Sq).
At the time of writing, Corfu's Archaeological Museum MAP GOOGLE MAP was
closed for extended renovations.
There is a striking memorial to Corfu's Jews in Plateia Solomou, near the Old Port in
the area still known as Evraiki , the Jewish Quarter.
People swim off the point just north of the Palaio Frourio.
