Corfu Museum of Asian Art: Self-Guided Audio Tours

This self-guided walking audio tour introduces first-time visitors to Corfu Town through its fortresses, churches, grand public spaces, and layered cultural history. It will especially suit travelers interested in architecture, local identity, Venetian and British influences, and the lived texture of the old town. The route starts at the Old Fortress, where rock, moat, and sea reveal why Corfu was so fiercely defended. From there, you walk through Bosketo and across the broad Spianada to the Liston, then reach the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, home to the Corfu Museum of Asian Art. The tour continues into the old town to the Church of Saint Spyridon and Casa Parlante Museum, then leads to the Bell Tower of the Annunziata, the Jewish Synagogue, and ends at the New Fortress above the harbor. On this walk, you will see fortress walls rising from the sea, arcades filled with café life, a palace turned museum, the island’s most beloved church, and streets that still hold traces of vanished communities. Memorable moments include the views from the defenses, the sweep of the Spianada, the red-domed bell tower of Saint Spyridon, and the striking contrast between Corfu’s military stonework and its elegant, everyday beauty.
