Our cycling food 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. Around 3km 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.
