Evening Stroll Through Corfu’s Layers of Empire — Ending with Local Wine.
To walk Corfu Town at dusk is to move through a living palimpsest — narrow alleys that open onto oddly shaped plazas, Venetian wells, plaques in Latin and bougainvillea-framed walls — all traced while an informed guide explains the island’s Venetian, British and French influences and their marks on the city before the group settles for a tasting of local wines.
