Make an afternoon in Corfu town into a memorable evening on land and sea. Explore Corfu town with a local guide to reveal its secrets on a walking tour, then take to the waves for a boat trip around the bay. Disembark for a typical dinner in the old town. Eleni, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Because Corfu was never conquered by the Ottomans and we were ruled by Venice for four centuries, our development was very different to the other Greek islands. In fact, it was the robustness of Venetian fortifications that kept the Ottomans out.'
You'll kick things off by making your way down the narrow, cobbled streets of the capital, passing the ramparts of the old castle as you go – with your knowledgeable guide giving you plenty of insight into some quirky points of interest. Eleni says, ‘Corfu has long been strategically important, guarding the route between the Ionian and the Adriatic Sea. Over the centuries, our island has passed through the hands of Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Goths, and more recently the English and the French. You can see their influences all over the island, but especially in Corfu town.'
After the tour, you'll enjoy a sundowner harbour cruise around Vidos island in the bay. Sit back on deck and watch the reflections dance on the water as you glide back to port. Round off your evening in style with a traditional Greek dinner. Michalis, the owner of the taverna in the heart of the old town's characterful lanes, is looking forward to welcoming you.
