Corfu: Town Private Food Walking Tour

Meet your private guide at the entrance of the Old Fortress and set off on a Corfu Food Tour that blends flavor, history and local culture.

Begin with a classic Greek breakfast at a small family-run bakery in the heart of Corfu Town. Sample freshly baked pastries such as Spanakopita (spinach pie) and Bougatsa (custard pie with phyllo), paired with a glass of refreshing ginger beer – known locally as “Tsitsimpira”, a British-era legacy that has become a Corfiot favorite. Then stroll through the atmospheric kantounia – the narrow, pedestrian lanes of the Old Town – as your guide brings the city’s past to life with stories and insights only a local would know.

Following your food-expert guide off the beaten path, you’ll uncover well-hidden eateries loved by residents. Taste Corfu’s signature Kumquat liqueur and visit a traditional grocery store to sample a selection of Greek cheeses and cold cuts, including the local specialty Noumboulo Fumicado. Experience the city’s daily rhythm at Corfu’s food market near the New Fortress, where vendors sell fresh fish, seasonal vegetables, honey and other local products.

As you explore, you’ll also discover Corfu’s rich culinary heritage and the central role food plays in local life. Your walking route includes a guided introduction to some of the town’s most important landmarks, such as the Old Fortress, the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, the Church of Saint Spyridon and the famous Liston, once reserved exclusively for the nobility listed in the Libro d’Oro.

Your Corfu Food Tour continues with a hearty meal at a traditional, family-run taverna, where you’ll enjoy signature Corfiot dishes accompanied by a glass of ouzo or local wine. To finish, you’ll satisfy your sweet tooth with a final stop at a surprise dessert spot.

By the end of your tour, you’ll leave with a full stomach and a head full of the colors, aromas and flavors that define Corfu.
