Overall Rating
Excellent
Much of the Old Town's architecture reflects the period from 1386 to 1797, Corfu was ruled by Venetian nobility. There's lots of gift shops, cafes and restaurants in its picturesque squares, side streets and narrow alleyways. The area is popular with local and tourists alike.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There are a number of streets on the flat, and there was enough for me that was accessible for a week. However there are areas I couldn't explore which are up a flight of stairs. Most cafes and shops have a step or two to enter but many of the cafes also have outdoor seating. There are also some churches and museums to visit in the area. Some of the roads are pedestrianised but motor bikes or delivery vehicles frequent the area. I found most of the paving smooth rather than cobbled.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Corfu Town is a short 5 – 10 minutes’ drive by taxi from Corfu Airport. There are buses that serve the town centre and taxis are plentiful and quite reasonably priced.
Accessible Toilets
0I didn't see any public toilets.

Additional Information
This is a pretty, historic and atmospheric quarter to visit. It is particularly delightful at night-time when the locals have finished work/ school and socialise in this district. This is a nice area to explore and highly recommend.
