Explore Corfu with a Guided Walking Food Tour
This walking food tour blends Corfu's culinary tradition with the history of the UNESCO-listed Old Town. You start at the Old Fortress with a licensed local guide, born and raised on the island, who leads you through the kantounia, the narrow Venetian alleys most visitors only wander by accident, stopping at the bakeries, delis, and cellars where our guide has been a regular for years.
Along the way you taste warm spanakopita and bougatsa with Greek coffee or tsitsibira, Corfu's ginger beer left behind by the British, then kumquat liqueur, local cheeses, and noumboulo fumicado, the smoked cold cut Corfiots save for their Sunday table.
Between tastings, your guide shares the stories behind the Liston promenade, the Church of Saint Spyridon, and the Palace of Saints Michael and George, and the walk ends at the market by the New Fortress, where locals shop daily and your guide points out which vendors to return to for flavors worth taking home. Book your private Corfu food and walking tour directly with us.
Meet Your Guide at the Old Fortress
