Only have one day in Corfu from a cruise ship? The good news is that Corfu is one of the easiest Greek island cruise stops to enjoy without overcomplicating your day. Cruise ships usually dock at Corfu’s New Port, also known as Neo Limani, which is close to Corfu Town and the island’s beautiful UNESCO-listed Old Town. Corfu Port Authority also publishes a cruise calendar, which is useful for checking how busy the port may be on your arrival date.

Corfu Old Town is the star of the island for cruise visitors. It is compact, atmospheric, walkable and packed with Venetian streets, pretty squares, cafés, churches, fortresses, shops and restaurants. UNESCO describes the Old Town of Corfu as having roots going back to the 8th century BC, with major Venetian fortifications that helped defend the maritime interests of Venice for centuries.

Whether you want to explore independently, join a walking tour, taste local food, take a short taxi ride, store luggage or book a guided experience, this guide will help you plan the perfect Corfu cruise day.
