Another beautiful day. Corfu is the birthplace of Prince Philip.
Today's tour took us to Kanoni (Canon) a wonderful vantage point to view tiny Mouse Island and its Monastery. This is a ridiculously popular spot for tour buses. Upon leaving, we saw Paleopolis, an archaeological site of Roman baths. When we reached the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Corfu Town, we left our tour and went off on our own. Sometimes it's just too much to listen to a guide drone on about Greek mythology.
We spent over an hour walking around the Old Corfu Fortress. We climbed all the way up to the lighthouse. Lovely view of the city and the Star docked in the harbour. We walked around Durrell Gardens, l'Esplanade, and Liston promenade. Here we had gyros at one of the many cafes lining the street. From here we could see the palace of St Michael and St George, former residence of the British High Commissioner. Then we continued our walk around Old Town. More narrow streets lined with lovely shops as well as tacky souvenir shops. We just kept on walking until we reached the street along the shore and kept going until we reached the ship. Another beautiful, enjoyable day.
It was Greek night in the World cafe tonight....moussaka, spanakopita, gyros, kebabs, stuffed mushrooms, roast lamb, Greek wine, baklava, and more.
Of course, we found more geocaches!
