Perhaps the best-known part of Corfu Town, the Liston is the most characteristic sign of the French presence on the island. Designed by Matthieu de Lesseps in 1807 and based on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris, its name comes from the Venetian practice of having a list of noble families in the Libro d'Oro or Golden Book and only those on this list were allowed to promenade here. #Corfu #Greece Corfu Town, Corfu Greece, Oh The Places You'll Go, Venetian, Pretty In Pink, Fields, Islands, Families, Bucket
