Smågruppsmat och kulturell rundtur på Korfu
Beskrivning
Gå med i vår lilla grupp Corfu Food and Culture Tour och låt oss ta dig till en resa i det förflutna och några av stadens väl dolda matställen. Låt dig drivas iväg i Korfus puls medan du njuter av en spännande promenad genom dess landmärken och förvänta dig att prova en rik gobeläng av smaker och aromer som kommer att erbjuda dig en oförglömlig sensorisk upplevelse. Det är en rundtur som kombinerar trevlig historisk information om Gamla stan på Korfu som har varit ett världsarv sedan 2007 och samtidigt kommer de att ha möjlighet att gå in i några små butiker som bara är kända av lokalbefolkningen för att smaka på lokala produkter och träffa och prata med ägarna till dessa butiker.

Resplan
Vår ackrediterade guide möter dig framför den gamla fästningen vid statyn av Schulemburg och efter att hon ger dig lite information utifrån om monumentet fortsätter du din tur i det historiska centret.
Det centrala torget i Spianada är det viktigaste monumentet i staden. Namnet kommer från det venetianska ordet för ett "öppet platt område" och det sägs att det är det största torget på Balkan. Liston som är en del av torget rymmer några av de finaste kaféerna och restaurangerna på Korfu. Fransmännen var de som gjorde Spianada till ett offentligt torg. Före artonhundratalet brukade det vara en stor tom tomt som användes för defensiva ändamål. Cricketmatcher spelas på Esplanaden, den enda platsen i Grekland där sporten utövas.
Palatset Saint Michael och Saint George ligger på den norra delen av Korfus stads historiska torg. Det är den största och mest betydelsefulla byggnaden under den engelska härskarperioden, som började 1814 och slutade 1864 när Joniska öarna återförenades med resten av Grekland. De byggdes på begäran av den brittiske Lord High Commissioner, Sir Thomas Maitland, för att bli hans egen lyxiga bostad och för att inrymma högkommissariens administrativa högkvarter. Idag rymmer det Korfus museum för asiatisk konst, det enda i sitt slag i Grekland, enbart tillägnat konsten och antikviteterna i Fjärran Östern och Indien. Det grundades 1928 och dess samling består för närvarande av cirka 15 000 verk av asiatisk konst och den åtnjuter ett världsomspännande erkännande, med sällsynta föremål från dess samlingar som presenteras på internationella utställningar.
Under vår rundtur kommer vi också att besöka kyrkan Saint Spyridon, öns skyddshelgon och en mirakelarbetare.
När vi går bland de smala gatorna passerar vi Rådhustorget på Korfu, en gång det exklusiva venetianska kvarteret med operahuset och villorna runt omkring. Vi kommer att beundra rådhusbyggnaden som först användes som en klubb för adelsmännen och senare 1720 var byggnaden värd för Noble Theatre of Saint Giacomo of Corfu. Slutligen, 1903, förvandlades det till ett rådhus.
Det judiska kvarteret, det gamla venetianska "gettot" som fortfarande kallas Evraiki på grekiska idag, sträckte sig över den sydöstra delen av staden, nära de venetianska befästningarna. Det var kors och tvärs av gränder kantade av bleka, flervåningshus, som i Venedig. Ghettot förlorade sin urbana enhet på grund av bombardement under andra världskriget.

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.
