Spianada and Liston Café

The place to see and be seen in Corfu Town is this elegant colonnaded arcade (spianada) and the green square in front of it. This is where the Greeks come to volta, an evening stroll that is a key social occasion and might include a coffee at one the many cafés such as Liston. During the day you be surprised to see a game of cricket being played on the grass of the square, a legacy of the British occupation of the island.
