Starting near Corfu Town…The first stop is San Marcos village, one of the first Venetian hamlets with carefully restored stone houses and a chapel dating from Byzantine times: the short climb will reward us with stunning views from the bell tower of the green inner plains of the island -and even until the port of Corfu- which are stretched below us. We continue along the olive groves to one of Corfu’s most picturesque medieval villages: Ano (up) Korakiana. We visit and taste a genuine olive oil snack with local products in the local kafenion and stroll through the narrow paved alleys and tunnels with numerous Venetian mansions, inhaling the typical village atmosphere from far-off times.
