Corfu: Old Town Food and Culture Walking Tour｜Greece

In this tour we reveal the secrets of the city!
Starting in the Durrells’ lush green garden, you’ll hear stories of the famous family in the place where they lived.
Then join us on a walk around the exterior of the impressive British Palace of St George and St Michael. This is where the British Commissioner of the Ionian Islands lived and where the Senate met.
Walk with us along the French street of Liston, the popular pedestrian street where the heart of the city beats. Admire the architecture, so reminiscent of the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Smile at the island’s socialites enjoying their daily gossip.
Come with us through what has been the city’s most central street for 600 years. Climb the steps of the Orthodox church of St. Spyridon and enter the silent interior. The venerable relic of Corfu’s patron saint and miracle-worker lies in its luxurious urn, which is still opened today from time to time.
Walk up the city’s most commercial street for at least 400 years, since the bourgeoisie started to do business in the city. See the building of the first lyrical theatre in Greece. See in your minds eye the prima donna being transported to the stage on the portantine and travel mentally to the sound of the great composers of Europe through the heart of Corfu.
During the tour, you will discover local secrets through the tastes and smells of the city. Taste the products, dishes, desserts that the locals eat every day. Drink a toast with local wine. Listen to the sounds of the city, the bells, the birds, the speeches and maybe a trombone through a window playing its tune.
