Corfu City's historic centre was built in 1550 by Venetians. Is an important town of 35, 000 inhabitants which is why one can find all kind of shops like in all the big towns. The town has a labyrinth of narrow streets and has shops for everyone. Loose your way and enjoy!

Shops in Corfu are very diverse and numerous. Many of those shops are selling leather goods, clothes, handmade needlework,  jewellery,  local ceramics and olive wood objects, local products , gifts and souvenirs, as well as various other touristy items; those touristy shops are opened all day long until late in the night, every day in the week, during the summer season.

The other shops are opened six days a week until 9 pm with a break between 2 pm and 5 pm and, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday they are open from 9 am to 3 pm. Dont forget to visit 2 shops, that have really good prices. One its called: ''Ftohomana'' and its opposite the Ionian university and the big store of ''Lido Moda'' in the Evgeniou Voulgareos street. Also have a look in the narrow streets around Agios Spiridon church, and especially in the Fillelinon street. 

See here below some photos, that i made in a hot night of summer 2006 from the city centre and the tourist shops.
