Patounis Soap Factory

The Patounis soap factory is operating since the 19th century without interruption. It still produces pure olive soap, using the same traditional method.

Reviewed By FreyaSmith - Cardiff, United Kingdom

Loved getting a glimpse into the inner workings of this family run business, which has been producing soap since 1850. The free tour at noon was informative and interesting, and we were able to watch some of the processes. Charming, fun and educational - would highly recommend.

Casa Parlante

"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.

For all people who love handmade art this little shop is a must when you walk through the old city of Corfu Town. It is located in a beautiful street next to the old fortress. The owners are lovely people who present exceptional handmade drawn scarfs, jewelery and sculptures made out of wood or ceramic. I bought a neckless over there and the owner individualised it according to my wishes!

Sweet 'N Spicy is a small shop at the center of the old town in Corfu. It is a shop filled with wonderful herbs and spices from around the world. We have over 60 different mixed spice blends which are homemade recipes and all mixed by us. With no preservatives or colors. We strongly believe in fresh quality. You will also find, top quality seasoned sea salt from Cyrpus,seasoned Himalayan salts made all by us and traditional products such as extra virgin olive oil where we offer everyone a taste. We have many different types of amazing honeys, Beeswax creams, and organic cosmetics made from olive and argan oil. Our biggest pleasure is talking about our spices and giving ideas on how to use each one. Nothing is nicer than sharing with others your passion and that is exactly what we do.

Sweet & Spicy is A-1 for shopping - and for meeting Katherine, a fun and friendly spice guru. I first stopped in for an olive oil tasting during a Cultural/Culinary tour of Old town (“Walking Tours of Corfu”) - and fell in love with the shop and with Katherine, its owner. Spending some time there is a wonderful experience of taste, smell, knowledge and fun, and Katherine brings it all alive. Just prior to my departure, I returned to do some shopping for my sister and nephews (good chefs all), and had yet another good visit with Katherine, her husband, and other customers. Yes, it’s that friendly! I highly recommend Sweet ‘n Spicy for some terrific gifts (for others and yourself!), for some cooking ideas, and for a thoroughly enjoyable visit with Katherine.

British Cemetry

This is an exceptional old garden full of trees shrubs and flowers including orchids opened in 1814 it contains hundreds of British graves and continues to be the last place of rest for Anglicans in Corfu.

Reviewed By PhilDuff - Stockport, United Kingdom

If you are interested in British History this place will grab your attention. Set in a peaceful oasis in the centre of town, there are graves from when the island was a British Protectorate back in the early 1800's some from the Crimean war, first and second world wars and sailors killed in the Corfu Channel incident in 1946. British Civilians are also buried here and are still being buried here. A fascinating place.
