Living in Old Corfu

 

Living at Keramidia House is living like a local. There are small cornershops and markets nearby for everyday needs and a five minute walk to the laïki, the local open-air market, where you can find local produce, fish, meat, and traditional Corfiot specialties.

Coffee shops abound in the old town and there are a few hidden gems like Dimitri's Bar on Guildford Street and the Tsipouradika (Grappa Bars) on Prosalendou Street.

HISTORY

World War II in Evraïki

I am not best-placed to speak about the history of the neighborhood, but I can say that the area has a proud but ultimately tragic past, Evraïki is the old Jewish quarter of Corfu Town. The scars of WWII are still visible in the hollow buildings of the neighbourhood. What is not immediately obvious are the missing families and neighbors, a population that was decimated by the Nazis in 1944.
