Itinéraire
Notre guide accrédité vous attendra devant la vieille forteresse à la statue de Schulemburg et après qu'elle vous donnera des informations de l'extérieur sur le monument, vous poursuivrez votre visite dans le centre historique.
La place centrale de Spianada est le monument le plus important de la ville. Le nom dérive du mot vénitien pour une "zone plate ouverte" et on dit que c'est la plus grande place des Balkans. Liston, qui fait partie de la place, abrite certains des meilleurs cafés et restaurants de Corfou. Ce sont les Français qui ont transformé la Spianada en une place publique. Avant le XIXe siècle, il s'agissait d'un grand terrain vide utilisé à des fins défensives. Les matchs de cricket se jouent sur l'Esplanade, le seul endroit en Grèce où le sport est pratiqué.
Le palais de Saint Michel et Saint George est situé sur la partie nord de la place du centre historique de la ville de Corfou. C'est le bâtiment le plus grand et le plus important de la période de domination anglaise, qui a commencé en 1814 et s'est terminé en 1864 lorsque les îles Ioniennes ont été réunifiées avec le reste de la Grèce. Ils ont été construits à la demande du Lord Haut Commissaire britannique, Sir Thomas Maitland, pour devenir sa propre résidence luxueuse et abriter le siège administratif du Haut Commissaire. Aujourd'hui, il abrite le musée des arts asiatiques de Corfou, le seul du genre en Grèce, uniquement dédié à l'art et aux antiquités d'Extrême-Orient et de l'Inde. Elle a été fondée en 1928 et sa collection comprend actuellement environ 15 000 œuvres d'art asiatique et jouit d'une reconnaissance mondiale, avec des objets rares de ses collections présentés dans des expositions internationales.
Au cours de notre visite, nous visiterons également l'église de Saint Spyridon, le saint patron de l'île et un faiseur de miracles.
En marchant dans les rues étroites, nous passerons par la place de la mairie de Corfou, autrefois le quartier vénitien exclusif avec l'opéra et les villas qui l'entourent. Nous admirerons le bâtiment de la mairie qui servait dans un premier temps de club aux nobles et plus tard en 1720, le bâtiment accueillit le Noble Théâtre de Saint Giacomo de Corfou. Enfin, en 1903, il fut transformé en hôtel de ville.
Le quartier juif, l'ancien «ghetto» vénitien qui s'appelle encore Evraiki en grec aujourd'hui, s'étendait sur la partie sud-est de la ville, près des fortifications vénitiennes. Elle était sillonnée de ruelles bordées de maisons fanées à plusieurs étages, comme à Venise. Le ghetto a perdu son unité urbaine à cause des bombardements pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Nausica is the best guide ever!!! My family, partner, and I had such an amazing time and learned so much about Corfu's history, all while tasting some delicious food. My favorite was probably the pastries at the very beginning, but it was all sooo tasty. Would highly recommend!

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.

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.

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!

Wow! First time visiting Corfu and we were blown away. Food, culture, the people, all are so pleasant and amazing as we learned about Corfu’s long history of many nations occupying and influencing her over the centuries. Our guide, Electra, really knows her history, having lived in Corfu for many years. And her time in New York , USA, made her English so easy to follow and understand. We toured and ate traditional and classic foods of Corfu. From cheese filled phyllo dough, spanakopitas that were so fresh, chocolate halva, sweet bread with honey, a local olive oil tasting with fresh jams, and an authentic Greek pasta and chicken meal. Of all our many food tours in many countries, this was by far the best and most filling. We had a wonderful time and we look forward to vacationing in Corfu in the future.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your first visit to Corfu was such a memorable one. Electra will be delighted to know her passion for the island helped make this one of your favorite food tours. Thank you for your kind words, and we can't wait to welcome you back to Corfu again soon! Warm Regards from Electra and The Corfu Walking & Food Tour Team
Electra was enthusiastic and friendly, knew a wealth of information and good contacts at the local tavernas and shops. It was good to do this on our first day although we were hungry and tired! Plenty of local food available too.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed your tour with Electra and discovering Corfu's local flavours. We're especially happy to hear the tour was a great introduction to the island. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Our guide, Alice, was charming and professional. She was dedicated ensuring all of the attendees were present. She then regaled us with history, culture, and food information tying all three together to form an understanding of Greece. Her delivery was engaging and memorable. She kept us moving along to the most wonderful locations, enchanting us along the way as we wove through the confusing byways of the old town. Every stop was fascinating and delicious. The highlight of our two week trip!
