Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
La nostra guida accreditata ti incontrerà davanti alla Fortezza Vecchia presso la statua di Schulemburg e dopo averti dato alcune informazioni dall'esterno sul monumento continuerai il tuo tour nel centro storico.
La piazza centrale della Spianada è il monumento più significativo del paese. Il nome deriva dal termine veneziano per "area pianeggiante aperta" e si dice che sia la piazza più grande dei Balcani. Liston, che fa parte della piazza, ospita alcuni dei migliori caffè e ristoranti di Corfù. Furono i francesi a trasformare la Spianada in una pubblica piazza. Prima del XIX secolo era un grande lotto vuoto utilizzato a scopo difensivo. Le partite di cricket si giocano sull'Esplanade, l'unico posto in Grecia dove si gioca lo sport.
Il Palazzo di San Michele e San Giorgio si trova nella parte settentrionale della piazza del centro storico di Corfù. È l'edificio più grande e più significativo del periodo del dominio inglese, iniziato nel 1814 e terminato nel 1864, quando le Isole Ionie furono riunificate con il resto della Grecia. Sono stati costruiti su richiesta dell'Alto Commissario britannico, Sir Thomas Maitland, per diventare la sua lussuosa residenza e per ospitare la sede amministrativa dell'Alto Commissario. Oggi ospita il Museo delle arti asiatiche di Corfù, l'unico del suo genere in Grecia, dedicato esclusivamente all'arte e alle antichità dell'Estremo Oriente e dell'India. È stata fondata nel 1928 e la sua collezione comprende attualmente circa 15.000 opere di arte asiatica e gode di riconoscimenti in tutto il mondo, con oggetti rari delle sue collezioni presentati in mostre internazionali.
Durante il nostro tour visiteremo anche la chiesa di San Spiridione, patrono dell'isola e taumaturgo.
Camminando tra i vicoli passeremo per la piazza del municipio di Corfù, un tempo l'esclusivo quartiere veneziano con il teatro dell'opera e le ville intorno. Ammireremo l'edificio del municipio che fu utilizzato inizialmente come club per i nobili e successivamente nel 1720, l'edificio ospitò il Teatro Nobile di San Giacomo di Corfù. Infine, nel 1903 fu trasformato in municipio.
Il quartiere ebraico, l'antico "ghetto" veneziano che ancora oggi è chiamato Evraiki in greco, si estendeva nella parte sud-est della città, vicino alle fortificazioni veneziane. Era attraversato da vicoli fiancheggiati da case sbiadite a più piani, come a Venezia. Il ghetto ha perso la sua unità urbana a causa dei bombardamenti durante la seconda guerra 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)

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.

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!
