Corfu at night, Greece Feb. 8, 2026

The island of Corfu, Greece, meets you at night with a quiet kind of intensity: stone facades catching warm lamplight, fortress walls rising in sharp outline and narrow lanes unfolding like a lived-in labyrinth. The Old Town doesn"t just look historic—it feels inhabited, shaped by centuries of shifting cultures and the slow rhythm of island life after dark.
