This photo was taken just one month ago, but the Liston, in Corfu Town, has stood on this spot for a long time. I understand that work started exactly 200 years ago today and there will be various celebrations in Town until the end of July.

We visited Corfu town in 03 when we stayed in Parga on the Mainland , A couple of hours isn't enough to see Corfu Town , But we'll have plenty of time this year !.

We've been so many times to Corfu Town, davvo, but we never tire of it - it is spectacular - and there are so many places yet to visit!
