Old Town of Corfu
The Old Town of Corfu, on the Island of Corfu off the western coasts of Albania and Greece, is located in a strategic position at the entrance of the Adriatic Sea, and has its roots in the 8th century BC. The mainly neoclassical housing stock of the Old Town is partly from the Venetian period, partly of later construction, notably the 19th century. As a fortified Mediterranean port, Corfu's urban and port ensemble is notable for its high level of integrity and authenticity.
Set out on this excursion that is ideal both for photography enthusiasts and for those who just want to bring home the best possible holiday snaps. A local photographer will mentor you, offering practical hints on framing the best shots of the fascinating architectural features you will see today.
Your tour will begin with a short, panoramic minibus drive through the Old Town of Corfu. The Old Town is a fortified Mediterranean port town of high integrity and authenticity.
Exploring on foot with your local guide, discover Corfu's most interesting sites. Take photos of St Spyridon Church, dedicated to the protector of the island. See the charming narrow alleyways of the old Venetian town -- idyllically photogenic -- and the famous Esplanade.
One of the largest town squares in Europe, elegant Liston Square was once only open to the aristocracy of Corfu.
Nearby, you will find the Dimarcheio or Town Hall, and the imposing and photographically dramatic Palace of St Michael & St George.
Across the Esplanade and through the fortification you will discover one of Corfu's best-kept secrets -- the Corfu Yacht Club -- where an elegant lunch awaits you and you can check your photos from the tour.
Please note: Wear comfortable non-skid walking shoes. Bring your camera or device; anything from a top-end camera to a cell phone or tablet is perfectly acceptable. This tour is geared towards beginners & hobby photographers, no extensive prior knowledge is required.
