Create an itinerary including Spianada Square
Enjoy a relaxing walk around maintained gardens, fountains, bridges, sculptures, and monuments at Spianada Square, the largest square in Greece. Situated in front of the Old Fortress, the square is the first thing you see as you approach the historic part of the town. Have your camera ready, for photo opportunities abound--a Neoclassical rotunda at the end of the square makes a good backdrop. Once done with strolling, sit in one of the many cafes and restaurants lining Liston, the town's famous promenade. This is also the only place in the country where cricket matches are played.

  • This is the biggest plaza/esplanade in all of Greece and it deserves its well-earned bragging rights. And, it is really attractive! It connects the Old Fortress to the Old Town via the Liston...

  • Love the fact that this space is so well used by young and old like, and it’s a stones throw from the old town.

  • A nicely maintained multi-purpose square, park, parking, playground, relaxing place, coffee and whatever break plus a public transport stop. I really enjoyed the walk. It has everything and most of all, I liked the way they have a place for kids to play freely and didn't turn it all into a parking spot.
  • It's a beautiful square, with a lot of benches to sit on and enjoy the nature and wonderful weather. It's very practical that there's a lot of museums and interesting places to visit around it as well!
  • A large plaza connecting the fortress, to the town. Has the Liston Promenade in the center, it was the water source for many. Might see a cricket match being played or band playing in bandstand. Great location!
  • A beautiful park in the heart of Corfu Town, mostly crowded with l I ts of coffee shops and bars. High lights is the old Fort and the views from the top of it.
  • Excellent museum for Asian culture in a great building if you are in the area and also near it is a very good spot to swim.
