A bustling yet charming port town, it is
the islands capital. It is called "Kerkyra" in Greek, as is the island.
Corfu, one of Greece's most beautiful islands boasts the largest capital of all the Ionian
Islands with a total population of around 37,000. The town itself is divided into two parts, the old and the new areas. The
old part of the town displays the elegant churches of various religions, the maze of cobbled streets, and also the Old Fortress
that stands proudly, looking over the town. The new parts of the town hold the abundance of cosmopolitan shops that can satisfy
everyone's tastes and demands.
