Updated: Jun 27

I always believe that a place can preserve a voice. In Corfu it is soft, sunny, with a light rustle of leaves and a kind irony. The voice is like the Durrells. Light, lively and a little eccentric. And I followed it. With headphones in my ears and a phone in my pocket - in the footsteps of my favorite TV series and favorite book.

This audio tour is not just a route, it is a walk into the past.

It all starts in Liston, on an elegant arcade where Greeks drink their morning coffee and tourists look for a scene from The Durrells. Then you pass familiar places: - The old fortress and the shadows of bygone centuries - Casa Parlante, where the dining room still awaits a family lunch - The Church of Saint Spyridon, warm, covered with the smell of wax - And finally, Mon Repos , where the island breathes peace, and everything falls into place


What did I particularly like?

  • The tour goes at its own pace . You can stop, think, remember your favorite scene.

  • No internet required - everything is already loaded into the app.

  • This is not only an excursion, but also a quiet dialogue with the island.

  • Bonus - tickets to attractions are included (convenient and easy).
