"Fantastic green space on the outskirts of the Corfu Old Town, filled with shaded areas to rest, walking paths, flowers and monuments along with great views of the Fort and coastline.
Great for an evening stroll once the sun sets and the temperature starts to drop a bit and cool off.
Once you are through the garden you can easily walk into the Corfu Old Town.
Highly recommend the Bosketo Garden for an evening walk."
