Firstly a short introduction about the history and people of Corfu and then follow us on a journey through time, via gardens, monuments and buildings.

First stop is the beautiful garden of the Durrells.  Here there will be a storytelling session recounting many tales of the Durrell’s exploits and adventures on the island.

Then admire the British Palace of St Michael and St George, relax in the flowering gardens and maybe even fall in love…it is the ultimate meeting place for lovers.

Walk with us along the French street of Liston, the most popular pedestrian street of Corfu. Admire the imposing square with its many cafes and see the socialites enjoying their daily gossip.

Admire the richly decorated Orthodox church of Agios Spyridon, the patron saint of Corfu and reportedly a miracle worker. If you are lucky, you may see his holy relic, which is worshipped by Corfiots on many occasions throughout the year.

Walk with us through the city’s mysterious and romantic sidestreets and alleyways but be careful not to get lost. It is quite easy to lose your bearings and go around in circles in the warren of little streets. Don’t worry though, wherever you end up, the Corfuting team will be nearby.

Last stop is the Town Hall Square, the main square of the city during the 400 years as a Venetian protectorate. Admire Corfu’s unique baroque building, the San Giacomo, built in 1669 as a meeting hall for Venetian officials, and converted in 1720 into a lyrical theatre. All the great opera performances of Europe were presented here until 1903 when a larger theatre was built as the San Giacomo was not sufficient for the ever-increasing number of spectators.

You have just enjoyed a small but concentrated taste of the city and culture of Corfu. Thank you!
