Corfu Town

We caught the local service bus to Corfu Town, otherwise known as Kerkyra.

But first, yet another morning shot!

On arrival it wasn't too busy but there was a nice bustle.

La Spianiáda, based on La Rue de Rivoli in Paris.

Lord Frédéric Adam who built an aquaduct providing fresh water for the people of Corfu Town.

The Orthodox Church...

...right by the statue of Count Von Der Schulenburg who defended Corfu from the Turks in the 18th century...

...and the entrance to the 'old' fortress.

A look down to Faliraki Beach

Corfu port...

...and an eyeful boat taking tourists on a trip.

This time the 'new' fort...


...before visiting the synagogue.

There were many Jews in Corfu before WWII, sadly thousands were deported to concentration camps.

To finish we all liked the look of this house near the bus station. I reckon there was a little bit of work to be done!
