Itinerary

  1. DISCOVER ICONIC LANDMARKS — WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HISTORY : Begin your journey through the Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where history, culture, and architecture blend harmoniously. With your local guide, explore the Old Fortress overlooking the Ionian Sea, stroll through the Boschetto Gardens and the vast Esplanade Square — one of the largest in Europe — and continue beneath the elegant arcades of the Liston. In the narrow lanes of Campiello, surrounded by bell towers, old mansions, and the scent of jasmine, the Old Town reveals its authentic soul.
  2. COFFEE & LOUKOUMADES — A MOMENT OF AUTHENTIC DELIGHT : Wander through the charming kantounia and pause at a traditional café. Enjoy freshly fried loukoumades drizzled with honey and cinnamon, paired with aromatic Greek coffee — a simple yet deeply authentic moment of island life.
  3. THE MUSICAL HEART OF CORFU : Music is an essential part of Corfu’s cultural identity. During your visit to one of the island’s historic musical institutions, you will discover the tradition of the famed philharmonic bands — the ensembles that accompany every celebration, parade, and ceremony, carrying the island’s rhythm and emotion through generations.
  4. COINS & CIVILIZATIONS — THE MUSEUM OF BANKNOTES NUMISMATICS : Housed in a neoclassical mansion, this museum presents the evolution of money and global trade. From the first ancient Greek coins to the modern era, each exhibit tells a story of art, economy, and human creativity.
  5. A GLIMPSE OF THE EAST — MUSEUM OF ASIAN ART : Inside the majestic Palace of St. Michael and St. George lies the Museum of Asian Art — the only one of its kind in Greece. Rare artefacts from China, Japan, India, and Nepal highlight the philosophy and aesthetics of Eastern cultures, showcasing Corfu’s historic role as a bridge between East and West.
  6. FREE TIME — THE CITY AT YOUR OWN PACE : Corfu’s shopping scene mirrors the island’s diversity, offering something for everyone. Along our journey, you’ll find shops with a variety of local products, famous for their uniqueness and quality. Discover and buy unique spices and teas, jewelry in both traditional and modern designs, and clothes that mix local and contemporary styles. The available folk art showcases Corfu’s cultural heritage, and the array of souvenirs makes for perfect keepsakes or gifts, encapsulating the essence of this captivating island.
  7. A TASTE OF CORFIOT TRADITION : Your experience concludes with lunch or dinner at a selected restaurant in the Old Town. Savour refined Corfiot recipes prepared with local ingredients, paired with a glass of island wine — a perfect finale inspired by the island’s flavours and warm hospitality.
