OLD TOWN CYCLING TOUR: A RIDE THROUGH TRADITION, CULTURE,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. 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.
Depending
on the mood and physical condition of our group we can ride to Kanoni in order to admire and make
photos of the 17th century Vlacherna
monastery located at the beginning of the airport lagoon as well as of the
planes landing while flying at the same level with us.
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 at.
After visiting the oldest church in Corfu built in 1005 we will cycle
through Garitsa bay admiring plenty
of mega yachts as docked haughty and shiny under the morning sun.
As the town is getting busy and the
temperature is rising, a last stop at one of the most beautiful and most photographed cafes of the town for a
refreshment is the best way to end our tour.
