About this tour
This session walks Campiello, the old town's core of narrow Venetian lanes. You see the tall shuttered houses lining the streets too narrow for cars, and a quiet shared courtyard tucked behind the street front, with the old family names on doorways explained by someone who grew up hearing the stories behind them. It stays within this one old quarter.
I walk it slowly, since the lanes twist often and I want viewers to actually see the detail on each facade. Questions about the families and the buildings come up often, and I answer from what I heard growing up here.
This suits anyone who wants the old town's residential side explained rather than only its monuments. It also works well paired with the Saint Spyridon session nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

The camera moves through lanes too narrow for cars, and I point out which old Venetian family names still appear on doorways and plaques.

A Quiet Courtyard 15 min

-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Corfu: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Kumquat spoon sweets and Old Port, worth a slower look.
Good to know
