Details

The island of Corfu, located off Greece’s northwest coast, is a vibrant mosaic of history, natural beauty, and Mediterranean flavors. Corfu Walking Tours offers an intimate way to connect with this remarkable place through its Food & Cultural Tour, a journey where every stop reveals layers of the island’s heritage and palate. Unlike traditional sightseeing excursions, this tour combines gentle walking with immersive culinary experiences, weaving local stories directly into the flavors you taste.

Corfu’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sets the stage with its Venetian architecture and winding streets where each corner leads to centuries-old tales. As you wander these historic paths, the tour pauses to savor distinctive Corfiot dishes—think spinach and cheese pies (spanakopita), caramelized almonds, and rich, locally pressed olive oil that carries the essence of the island’s gnarled groves.

What elevates Corfu Walking Tours is their emphasis on authentic, small-scale food producers and hidden city corners where locals gather. This isn’t about tourist traps but a genuine dive into a culture shaped by Venetian, French, and British influences over centuries. The fragrant markets, cobbled squares, and storied churches become a backdrop to the seasonal flavors and local lore that guide each bite.

For visitors who value connection and insight, this trip balances history, culture, and gastronomy with leisurely pace and knowledgeable guides. It reveals Corfu as more than a scenic isle—it’s an active place where heritage is tasted and felt in the very streets beneath your feet. Whether you’re a food lover or a cultural enthusiast, Corfu Walking Tours offers a fresh perspective on a classic Mediterranean destination, making it an essential stop in any traveler's itinerary.
