Kerkira, Corfu, GreeceMore information:
The city of Corfu stands on the broad part of a peninsula, whose termination in the Venetian citadel is cut off from it by an artificial fosse formed in a natural gully, with a seawater moat at the bottom, that now serves as a marina and is called the Contrafossa. The old town, having grown within fortifications, where every metre of ground was precious, is a labyrinth of narrow streets paved with cobblestones. A promenade rises by the seashore towards the bay of Garitsa together with an esplanade between the city and the citadel known as Spianada with the Liston arcade to its west side, where restaurants and bistros abound.
