 Enter in
Corfu town Old Harbour from
the eastern end of the break water. The entrance into the interior of
the harbour is very narrow - if another craft is exiting it is best to
wait. Entering with a strong northwesterly is difficult.
The harbour provides
excellent shelter in all weathers; the problem is finding a place
among the fishing and tripper boats. Berths for visitors are those
behind the windward mole, alongside, two and three deep. Anchoring is
not advised since lines often get tangled with those of other boats anchor
facing the shore.
Berthing here you are within
walking distance of the town's center. On the shore road in front of
the harbour there is a row of stores with sailing gear, machine shops, boat
engine repair services and others for electrical - electronic gear. Corfu
town unquestionably offers the best all-round facilities in the northern
Ionian.
