Itinerário
Nosso guia credenciado irá encontrá-lo em frente à Antiga Fortaleza na estátua de Schulemburg e depois que ela lhe der algumas informações de fora sobre o monumento, você continuará seu passeio no centro histórico.
A praça central de Spianada é o monumento mais significativo da cidade. O nome deriva da palavra veneziana para "área plana aberta" e diz-se que é a maior praça dos Balcãs. Liston, que faz parte da praça, abriga alguns dos melhores cafés e restaurantes de Corfu. Foram os franceses que transformaram a Spianada em praça pública. Antes do século XIX, era um grande terreno baldio usado para fins defensivos. As partidas de críquete são disputadas na Esplanada, o único lugar na Grécia onde o esporte é praticado.
O Palácio de São Miguel e São Jorge está localizado na parte norte da praça do centro histórico da cidade de Corfu. É o maior e mais significativo edifício do período do domínio inglês, que começou em 1814 e terminou em 1864, quando as Ilhas Jônicas foram reunificadas com o resto da Grécia. Eles foram construídos a pedido do Lord High Commissioner britânico, Sir Thomas Maitland, para se tornar sua própria residência luxuosa e para abrigar a sede administrativa do Alto Comissário. Hoje, abriga o Museu de Artes Asiáticas de Corfu, o único do gênero na Grécia, dedicado exclusivamente à arte e antiguidades do Extremo Oriente e da Índia. Foi fundado em 1928 e seu acervo atualmente é composto por aproximadamente 15.000 obras de arte asiática e goza de reconhecimento mundial, com peças raras de suas coleções sendo apresentadas em exposições internacionais.
Durante o nosso passeio também visitaremos a igreja de São Spyridon, o santo padroeiro da ilha e um milagreiro.
Enquanto caminhamos pelas ruas estreitas, passaremos pela Praça da Câmara Municipal de Corfu, outrora o exclusivo bairro veneziano com a ópera e as vilas ao redor. Vamos admirar o edifício da Câmara Municipal que foi usado inicialmente como um clube para os nobres e mais tarde em 1720, o edifício sediou o Teatro Nobre de São Giacomo de Corfu. Finalmente, em 1903 foi transformado em Câmara Municipal.
O bairro judeu, o antigo “gueto” veneziano que ainda hoje é chamado de Evraiki em grego, se estendia pela parte sudeste da cidade, perto das fortificações venezianas. Era atravessada por becos ladeados de casas desbotadas e de vários andares, como em Veneza. O gueto perdeu sua unidade urbana devido aos bombardeios durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Excellent tour! Great combination of history and GREAT food! Our guide Electra was very knowledgeable on the island history as well as the food traditions. Small group and plenty of delicious things to try. Especially loved how this tour supports local family owned businesses. Bravo!
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.

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.
