Food Tour on a Bicycle Old Town, Suburbs and Hidden Gems
Our cycling food tour at the historical centre and the suburbs is a very nice way to discover the traditional neighborhoods of the town and admire hidden gems on this"out of the beaten path"route. We will cycle at the fruit and fish market, see the vendors trying to sell their products and try fresh fruit. A homemade cheese pie and a Greek coffee is all you need. We will then continue cycling in the narrow alleys formed between the multi storey 16th century venetian buildings and admire 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, that prince Philip of Great Britain was born in. After visiting the oldest church in Corfu built in 1005 we will enjoy a gingerbeer at the “Windmill” area with amazing view of the Old Fortress and Garitsa bay. Then through a shady park back to the old town where we will continue our food tour at places where mostly locals visit.
