Ships dock at the New Port, and the town centre is a short walk or shuttle ride away. The Old Fortress sits on a promontory with views across to the Albanian coast. The Achilleion Palace, built for Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the 1890s, has terraced gardens full of classical statues and looks out over the sea. Kumquat liqueur, made from fruit that grows all over the island, is the local specialty. The food on Corfu has a distinct Italian influence from centuries of Venetian rule. Sofrito is thin-sliced beef cooked in a white wine and garlic sauce, while pastitsada is slow-braised meat over thick pasta. Backstreet tavernas usually offer both, alongside grilled octopus and fresh fish. Paleokastritsa, on the west coast, has dramatic cliff-backed coves reachable by bus or excursion boat. The Spianada, Corfu Town's main square, is good for people-watching with a coffee. Scooter rental is an option for those who want to explore the coast independently. ## Your day in Corfu Ships berth at Neo Limani, 2 km from Old Town: a free shuttle runs to the terminal, then walk 20 to 30 min or take bus 15, 16 or 17. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Neo Limani, north mole (39.63264, 19.90441) - **Bus to Paleokastritsa**: Intercity bus stop, 35 min walk (39.62135, 19.91642) Walking times from the cruise terminal: - Within 45 min: Old Town, Spianada and Liston, Church of Saint Spyridon, New Fortress Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/b26b6ac8-5c60-4f9e-bb11-9a58e4e5d872.geojson) ### What to see #### Old Fortress Venetian fortress on a promontory that held off Ottoman sieges.
