FOOD TOUR ON A BICYCLE: A RIDE THROUGH TRADITION,HISTORY AND LOCAL FLAVORS
FOOD TOUR ON A BICYCLE: A RIDE THROUGH TRADITION,HISTORY AND LOCAL
FLAVORS.
Our cycling
tour at the historical centre and the suburbs is probably the nicest and
easiest way to get to know some of the most traditional neighborhoods of the
town and admire lots of the hidden gems on this fantastic out of the beaten path, route.
We will start by cycling in the open fruit and fish market, see the
vendors trying to sell their freshly cut products and even try some of them. In
order to get energy for cycling a homemade
cheese pie or spinach pie accompanied by a Greek coffee is all you need.
We will then continue cycling around
the ”labyrinth” of the narrow alleys of the old town formed between the multi
storey 16th century venetian buildings with photo stops at the most
historical highlights at a time that the
city is still quiet and the temperature still pleasant.
A few km further we will cycle in the exotic gardens of the famous Mon Repos, the summer resort of the ex
royal Greek family, that prince Philip of Great Britain was born in.
After visiting the oldest church in Corfu built in 1005 we will enjoy a
local refreshment at the “Windmill” area with amazing view of the Old Fortress
and Garitsa bay. We will then cycle through a shady park back to the old town
where we will continue our food tour at places where mostly locals go and try
some local specialties.
As the town is getting busy and the temperature is rising, we will cycle
back to the starting point so you can enjoy the rest of your day wither in the
town or at one of the crystal beaches around the island.
