"Welcome! Please, come in! The Count will be with you presently. He hopes you will join him and the Countess in the drawing room for tea." This is what you would hear at Casa Parlante, the most alive historical museum in Corfu. A 19th century noble mansion comes to life with stories to tell. In the unique architectural setting of a classical mansion in the historic Old town of Corfu, the everyday life of the island's 19th century nobility is recreated. Through animated figures, using robotic technology, and the perfect reproduction of decor and furnishing, Casa Parlante promises to deliver you a true insight into bygone Corfu. Awakening all your senses, the traditions of the island unfold in front of you, depicting family life in an authentic experience of sights, sounds and smells. Before your eyes the house will come to life... Listen to the children of the family playing music, smell the aromas of the cook's virtuosic cuisine, read the headlines of the Count's newspaper... Casa Parlante is a unique museum: it brings history to life and lets the visitor breathe it in.

Interesting, small, local history museum. Interior in good shape as well as furnitures and objects. Museum uses motorized dummies to animate history. They are not robots, only the head or arm is moving back and forth. The museum tour is always led by the guide. There is possibility to ask questions, which is absolutely nice. This is a little gem of Cofu Town..the price is 5 euro each, and you also receive a glass of rose liqueur and a guided tour of 19th century living...You will enjoy this museum. It's something different from others, it has its uniqueness.

Sarris Winery is located in the south-west part of Kefalonia, very close to Avithos beach in the area of Svoronata, 10 km from the island’s capital, Argostoli and close to the island’s Airport. The area has picturesque villages like Svoronata, Kaligata and Kourkoumelata, where you can find traditional houses with fragrant, inlaid gardens, olive and orange groves; a very peaceful place! Sarris Winery is open to all oenophiles and anyone wishing to get to know the world of natural wine and viticulture. We are waiting for you at the bistrot of the winery to relax with our white wines, flirting with our rosy creations and exploring our complex red labels, while enjoying our spectacular view.

We had a wonderful tour from Panos, the owner at Sarris Winery. He walked us through the different stages of the wine making and about each of the wines he bottles. We sat and enjoyed the incredible views, delicious cheeses and some of the best Greek we’ve tasted with our friends and went home with the Rosé. Yamas! Highly recommend a visit and tour!

So nice! Operated by the owner family who also make all the models by hand. The owner and his son also take their time to guide visitors through their museum and explain all details and important things. Not a huge museum, but owned and run by friendly people with their hearts in the right spots.
9. Corfu Museum of Asian Art
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 399 reviews
At the top end of the 'Spaniada', Corfu Town's central park area, stands the Palace of St Michael and St George. This is the most significant building from the period of English rule and was originally built as the luxury residence of the then British Lord High Commissioner. It's now home to the Corfu Museum of Asian Art - the only one of its kind in Greece, dedicated to the arts of Asia.

What a gem ! Anyone visiting Corfu is well advised to add display this to their itinerary. It truly was an astonishing experience. It highlights the lifetime collection of a Corfiot diplomat called Gregórius Mános. He spent a lifetime collecting art pieces from assorted asian cultures and returned with it to Corfu. The government has set it up on display in a magnificent building that housed successive councils/governments - it was one of the highlights of our entire trip and is a ‘must visit’ if you get to Corfu.
10. Church of Saint Spiridon
Overall Ratings

Saint Spyridon Church , the miraculous and Saint of Corfu The history and the tradition of our local Church from 1456 is imminently connected with Saint Spyridon. The arrival of his holy relic from Istanbul, his staying in Corfu, the built of his church along with the establishment of five big feasts based on Him led the christians to believe that Corfu cannot exist without Him. But even our local Church owes Him a lot. Not only did He protect it during the hard times of the Venetian Occupation, but also from other foreign occupations. French, Russians, English, Italians and Germans have passed over our island, staying for different lapses of time.

Hi, The church has a lot of history behind. There are benches inside so you can sit and contemplate. Around the church are a lot of good stores where you can buy a lot of religious souvenirs.
