Private Tour in the Historical Centre of Corfu Old Town, Greece
Visit the old center of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site! It is a unique, world-renowned place that never fails to fascinate visitors. Learn the island's culture and history and appreciate the place's cosmopolitan feeling! The different nations, cultures, customs, and traditions of the three countries that have occupied Corfu over the past centuries meet in the maze-like alleys of the old town center. The British, the Venetians, and the French have left their mark on Corfu society. Still, the Corfians have adopted some aspects of these cultures, keeping their traditions and habits and creating a perfect mix of cultures.
The old town of Corfu boasts many impressive and world-famous sites, each with its unique historical development: tall fortresses, considered impenetrable (they helped defend the island from potential invaders) and magnificent palaces still retaining their power and splendor; museums of historical significance and superb architecture, old mansions and colorful houses built in Venetian style, famous cosmopolitan squares, and magnificent churches, testifying to the strength of Corfu. Besides the glorious nature and the famous sights, the old town of Corfu has several hidden gems in the existing alleys: small old craft shops, folklore museums that revive the life of past centuries, philharmonic societies that maintain the musical traditions of the island, and quaint stores that sell fine local products.
