Lille gruppe mad og kulturtur på Korfu
Beskrivelse
Deltag i vores lille gruppe Corfu Food and Culture Tour, og lad os tage dig med til en rejse i fortiden og nogle af byens godt skjulte spisesteder. Lad dig drive væk i Korfus puls, mens du nyder en spændende gåtur gennem dets vartegn, og forvent at prøve et rigt gobelin af smag og aroma, der vil tilbyde dig en uforglemmelig sanseoplevelse. Det er en tur, der kombinerer behagelig historisk information om den gamle bydel på Korfu, som har været et verdensarvssted siden 2007, og samtidig vil de have mulighed for at komme ind i nogle små butikker, som kun er kendt af lokalbefolkningen for at smage lokale produkter og mødes og snakke med ejerne af disse butikker.

Rejseplan
Vores akkrediterede guide vil møde dig foran den gamle fæstning ved statuen af Schulemburg, og efter at hun har givet dig nogle oplysninger udefra om monumentet, fortsætter du din tur i det historiske centrum.
Den centrale plads i Spianada er byens mest betydningsfulde monument. Navnet stammer fra det venetianske ord for et "åbent fladt område", og det siges, at det er den største plads på Balkan. Liston, som er en del af pladsen, huser nogle af de fineste caféer og restauranter på Korfu. Franskmændene var dem, der gjorde Spianada til en offentlig plads. Før det nittende århundrede, plejede det at være en stor tom grund, der blev brugt til defensive formål. Cricketkampe spilles på Esplanade, det eneste sted i Grækenland, hvor sporten spilles.
Paladset Saint Michael og Saint George ligger på den nordlige del af Korfu bys historiske centrum. Det er den største og mest betydningsfulde bygning i den engelske herredømmeperiode, som startede i 1814 og sluttede i 1864, da De Ioniske Øer blev genforenet med resten af Grækenland. De blev bygget efter anmodning fra den britiske Lord High Commissioner, Sir Thomas Maitland, for at blive hans egen luksuriøse bolig og til at huse højkommissærens administrative hovedkvarter. I dag huser det Korfu-museet for asiatisk kunst, det eneste af sin slags i Grækenland, der udelukkende er dedikeret til kunst og antikviteter i Fjernøsten og Indien. Det blev grundlagt i 1928, og dets samling omfatter i øjeblikket cirka 15.000 asiatiske kunstværker, og det nyder verdensomspændende anerkendelse, med sjældne genstande fra dets samlinger, der præsenteres på internationale udstillinger.
Under vores tur vil vi også besøge kirken Saint Spyridon, øens skytshelgen og en mirakelmager.
Mens vi går i de smalle gader, passerer vi Rådhuspladsen på Korfu, engang det eksklusive venetianske kvarter med operahuset og villaerne omkring det. Vi vil beundre rådhusbygningen, som først blev brugt som en klub for adelsmændene, og senere i 1720 var bygningen vært for det noble teater i Saint Giacomo fra Korfu. Endelig blev det i 1903 omdannet til et rådhus.
Det jødiske kvarter, den gamle venetianske "ghetto", der stadig kaldes Evraiki på græsk i dag, strakte sig over den sydøstlige del af byen, nær de venetianske fæstningsværker. Det var på kryds og tværs af gyder beklædt med falmede huse i flere etager, som i Venedig. Ghettoen mistede sin urbane enhed på grund af bombardementer under Anden Verdenskrig.

We had a fantastic time on the Small-Group Food and Cultural Tour in Corfu with Alkistis Georgiou. She was an excellent guide, warm, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Corfu and its food. The tour was a great way to experience a side of Corfu that you could easily miss as a visitor. We tried some delicious local food, learned about the history and traditions of the island, and explored some lovely spots around Corfu Old Town. Alkistis made the whole experience relaxed, interesting and really enjoyable. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience authentic Corfu beyond the usual tourist sights. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Corfu!

Highly recommend!!!! Fantastic tour, guide Alice was engaging, animated, very knowledgeable. She remembered the names of every group member right away and took time to get everyone involved and interested regardless of their background, age or food preference. It is a 95% food tour, as opposed to a cultural tour, but the little nuggets of cultural information that we got were interesting and she was very knowledgeable. Food was varied and delicious. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a great time with Alice. She'll be thrilled to know you enjoyed her enthusiasm, local knowledge, and the delicious food along the way. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Corfu again soon! Warm Regards from Alice and The Corfu Walking & Food Tour Team
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area, food and Corfu. English was perfect. We have taken a lot of food tours in different places -- take note -- this was a lot of food compared to other food tours including a sit down dinner at the end. Would not recommend if you are not interested in trying new food (I know it seems obvious but a couple of people in our group would not try anything new to them)
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed discovering Corfu's history and local flavours with us. It's great to hear you appreciated the generous tastings and authentic experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Corfu again soon!

Our group of five had an amazing time with Nausica on our Corfu food tour! She was a humorous and knowledgeable guide to food and culture in Corfu Old Town. Her love for her island permeated throughout the tour. Make sure you come hungry, there was a ton of food at a bunch of great little stops!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your group had such a great time with Nausica.
