The architecture of all the houses resembles the typical architecture of Corfu, each house has been constructed very close to another, in different colors, while at the root cellars oil, wine, cheese is being stored for the next year. We will wander through the lovely alleyways of each village, discovering real gems, old churches with magnificent bell towers, amazing, paved squares, quaint coffee houses or abandoned mansions, traditional wood stoves, old and abandoned oil presses, or wells which still locals get water out of with a bucket, in order to water their gardens and plants.
Let’s become acquainted with those people and talk with them, so that they help us discover the past and culture of the places in the countryside of Corfu, learn about the life of past generations and be amazed with the simple, authentic life and ingenuity of our ancestors.
