The museum is housed in Koukouritsa, one the of the Capodistrias family’s country estates in Middle Corfu, where Ioannis Capodistrias lived for a while in his youth. In the Corfiot dialect, Koukouritsa means ‘top of the hill’, which is how the estate in the village of Evropouli gained its name.

The historic garden of the Kapodistrias family surrounds the Capodistrias Museum and welcomes all visitors.
