Corfu Town Slow Pace Walking Tour

About This Tour

To take a walk through Corfu Town, is to take a walk through history. Great empires and civilisations passed from here leaving their indelible stamp, and influencing the soul of Corfu. It’s all there for you to discover and find out more about. On the Corfu Influential History Tour we take a stroll through time. Follow in the footsteps of the Venetians, British and French where they left their cultural and historical marks and shaped the character of this unique town. Peel back the layers of the city’s multicultural influences and discover this gem of a medieval city, through the most important historic moments and sights. Our well informed and eloquent guide will walk you through each one of the sights and monuments, like the imposing Old Fortress, with its sturdy butresses and ramparts, tunnels and towers and reconditioned cannons dotted all round. Look out from the walls towards the sea and imagine armadas of old preparing for a siege.

Join us in a walk through this historical “playground”, while getting the necessary information and background to appreciate it in full. We walk through ever narrower alleyways, that suddenly open out onto oddly shaped plazas, often with a Venetian well in the center, or a bougainvillea framed wall along one side. Plaques abound with inscriptions in Latin, noting important moments in the history of the town. Street names commemorate those who shaped the island’s history.
