Castles & monuments · Corfu · ★★★★★
The French-built arcades of the Liston, modelled on Paris's Rue de Rivoli, facing the Spianada, Greece's largest square, where cricket has been played since the British era. Coffee under the arches, then a stroll across to the Old Fortress; free, and liveliest in the evening.
Everything in the town centre is a short walk from here: the Museum of Asian Art stands at the north end of the square, 200 m away, the old town's lanes begin 200 m off, and the Old Fortress is 300 m away. Buses stop at the Upper Square, about 110 m off, with parking about 80 m away and toilets about 190 m.
