We spent a few days in Corfu last month on our way through to Italy. Corfu Town totally impressed me as it really is a beautiful place. Admittedly it is fairly touristy in parts but it has a great buzz about it and you can still feel the 'presence' of the place, despite all the cafes and restaurants. The old town, where we stayed, is made up of masses of interesting narrow streets which are intertwined by wide pedestrianised areas lined with grand colonnaded buildings, built mostly by the Venetians. The rich yellows and ochres of many of the buildings give the town a more Italian than Greek feel and then just to confuse you even more, there are wide green ovals which on which you see white clad men playng cricket.
I took this photo from the top of the New Fort (built around the 1670's) It had the most amazing views over the rooftops of the town and I was in seventh heaven visulizing more paintings (what is it with me and rooftops I wonder - perhaps I was a bird in a previous life!)
