IN THE OLD TOWN OF CORFU, HISTORY IS
NOT SET APART; IT SURROUNDS YOU.

In Corfu’s Town, the Palace of St. Michael and St. George stands with quiet authority; its colonnade opening onto the city, framing a different sense of
scale, rhythm and time today, it houses the Museum of Asian Art — the only one of its kind in Greece — where collections from China, Japan, India and
beyond unfold within a building shaped by British rule and European classicism. Just beyond, in the narrow kantounia of Corfu’s Old Town, life unfolds
at a different pace; laundry hanging between balconies, light filtering through the facades, voices echoing softly through the passageways. Here, the
grandeur of the city gives way to intimacy.
