Corfu Town: Dark Myths and Legends Tour

​My partner and I spent last week in Corfu and ended up booking two separate tours with Corfu Perspective Guided Tours — and both were completely outstanding. ​On Friday evening, we did the Dark Myths and Legends tour, which was such a captivating way to see the island’s spookier, mysterious side. We loved it so much that we booked the Small Group Corfu Old Town Walking Tour for Monday evening! ​Our guide was phenomenal. Her personal depth of knowledge regarding Corfu’s rich history, folklore, and local myths made every story come alive. She took us off the beaten track and away from the main tourist routes, showing us hidden spots and the absolute best corners of Old Town. The stories were a wonderful mix — fascinating myths, laugh-out-loud funny anecdotes, and deeply moving moments of local history. ​If you're deciding between this and one of the massive cruise-style group tours you see shuffling around town, do yourself a favor and book this instead. The intimate, small-group feel makes all the difference. ​We can't wait to return to Corfu!

This tour was very interesting and kept us engaged the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences/

I had an amazing time on the Corfu ghost and dark legends tour! Very informative. I learned loads of cool facts about Greece/Corfu's deep history and folklore that you'd never get from a standard historical walk. Strolling through the dark, cobbled alleyways of the Old Town at night gave the experience a great, atmospheric vibe. Our guide was brilliant, passionate, entertaining, and filled with fantastic local stories. If you want to see a different, darker side of the Greece and Corfu while picking up some great historical trivia, I highly recommend this experience! It was run by a small company called Corfu Perspectives so definitely use them as they are fabulous!

Really enjoyable tour. Effy, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The company is clearly hard working and trying to get the notice it deserves - there were several sweet little freebies which was a nice touch and I haven't seen that before. I knew quite a few of the myths and legends already but this taught me new versions which was fascinating. The local Corfu tales are something you won't get anywhere else, the Cobici story was thrilling. The walk was comfortable, easy going and we covered a lot of the city. The best thing was the attention to our happiness and enjoyment- we had been due to complete the walk on Friday but it was raining and we were contacted offering to do it on the Saturday, when the weather would be better. We were happy to accept and definitely improved the experience.

Easy to find meeting point. Efi was very knowledgeable, personable and really drew us into Greek Mythology and other legends. The small group size (max 8) really allowed us to hear all the stories Efi told us and helped to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge of Greek history. A full two hours plus and well worth the cost of the experience. Highly recommended.
