It passes the Jewish quarter heading towards the City Hall (San Giacomo), the Duomo (Catholic church), and the historic neighborhood of Porta Remunda with its many cantons.

The route continues in Paleopolis (Mon Repo), where the worship centre of ancient Corfu is located, as well as the old villa of the English commissioner (Frederick Adams) granted later to King George I. and now a museum. It returns on the wide sea-side walk of the bay of Garitsa and run through the Old Fortress, the Venetian masterpiece.
