Admire all the sights of the beautiful and historic city from the outside on your extended city walk. Marvel at the magnificent Esplanade, one of the most beautiful and largest squares in Greece, and the beautiful Liston arcade gallery, under which there are numerous cafés and bars. Opposite the Esplanade you can also see the old fortress, which was built in the 14th century by Venetians. Near the Esplanade is also the Neoclassical Palace of St. Michael and St. George. Marvel at the most magnificent and imposing building in Corfu, built between 1819 and 1823. During your guided tour, you will also pass City Hall Square, where you will see one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, the Dimarcheion . The Town Hall, which was expanded in 1903, was originally a meeting hall of the Venetian nobility. Also consider the Episcopal Church of San Giacomo, located next to the Town Hall and built in the 17thcentury.The visit to the oldest quarter of the island, Campiello, is of course not to be missed on your tour. This beautiful neighborhood has some of the most beautiful architectures of the entire island.
