Corfu Bookbinding

Corfu Town


For souvenir hunters, this old bookshop near the cathedral is of most interest for its handmade notebooks and unusual framed prints, old and new; serious bibliophiles can join regular bookbinding workshops. There are some quality books on Greece, but most are of course only in Greek.
