About this tour
Discover Corfu Town on a 3.5-hour food and culture walking tour through the Old Town. Starting in the Durrells’ green garden, the walk brings together stories of Corfu’s history and everyday life with tastes of local products, dishes and desserts.
Explore Corfu Old Town
Hear about the famous Durrell family where they lived, then walk around the exterior of the Palace of St George and St Michael, once home to the British Commissioner of the Ionian Islands and a meeting place for the Senate. Continue along Liston, the lively pedestrian street with architecture reminiscent of Paris’s Rue de Rivoli, and through streets that have been central to city life and commerce for centuries.
Visit the Orthodox church of St Spyridon and its quiet interior, where the relic of Corfu’s patron saint rests in an ornate urn. The route also passes the building of Greece’s first lyrical theatre, with stories that bring the city’s musical history to life.

Our tour with Athena was amazing! She was such a knowledgeable, kind, and amazing guide. We were a large group traveling together, everyone spoke different languages and different dietary restrictions and she made sure that everyone was looked after and had a great experience. The tour itself was wonderful, we learned so much about Corfu and its history while enjoy all the tasty food the city has to offer. Come hungry and maybe don’t eat breakfast since there will be so much to eat and drink! Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Magda was super! Had a nice tour and took into account our wishes and questions. Heard a lot about Corfu and had nice food and drink stops. Recommend if you like the combination of history and original/homemade products and drinks. Greetings from Mark and the tricky Dutch names, 4 people, September 3
