Tour Details
The Carnival of Corfu from Bulgaria: Rooted in the times of the Middle Ages, the Carnival of Corfu is heavily inspired by the Venetians due to their rule during the past centuries.

The custom of burning the King Carnival, which wraps up the carnival festivities, cannot be skipped. Thought to have carried the sins of all the locals, this inner-cleansing ritual always creates a partying frenzy! It is also a tradition that Corfiots and the carnival participants be very careless with their language usage, reading what is supposedly King Carnival’s will, though actually being an elaborate way of using profanities regarding local politicians and recent scandals!
Plus, another Corfiot custom that takes place yearly is the mock wedding, consisting of a bride-and-groom couple, as well as a person dressed as a demon, destined to break up their wedding.
