Tour description
Corfu is the most elegant of the Greek islands, a UNESCO-listed old town of Venetian, French and British heritage set between two great fortresses on the Ionian Sea. Unlike the whitewashed Cyclades, it has grand Italian-style arcades and squares. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history.
You will stroll the grand Spianada esplanade, wander the Venetian old town, and take in views of the fortresses. Along the way you will hear about the Venetians, the British and Ionian culture. Elegant and historic, Corfu is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
