In the old town you can view more ancient architecture with examples of Byzantine, Georgian and traditional stuccoed Greek buildings. On Corfu's east coast you will find the most modern tourist facilities, while Agni and Nisaki have more of a typical Greek ambience with their traditional sea-front tavernas.
