Product Information

Take a boat trip: Wherever you are in Corfu, there are plenty of companies offering boat hire for a fun day out at sea. Hop on board and sail around the island in search of secluded coves and inviting swimming spots. Pastitsada (beef in a rich tomato sauce with pasta), sofrito (battered beef cooked in olive oil and wine) and bourdeto (fish stew) are among the regional delicacies you can enjoy in kitchens, traditional tavernas and restaurants of Corfu. They will enrich your holidays with the aromas and flavours of the Ionian.

A trio of traditional Corfiot dishes worth trying are pastitsada, bourdeto and sofrito. Pastitsada is a pasta dish made with rooster and a bright red sauce. Bourdeto is fish cooked in a tomato. And sofrito a dish made with veal or beef braised with wine and herbs. I’m also a fan of tsigarelli, which is a side dish of wild greens in a spicy tomato sauce.So there is no shortage of souvenir shops and restaurants aimed at tourists. The main tourist area is well kept, with flowers and plants out on the street and (unusually for Greece) some attempt at even paving. And there are endless scenic cafes. Line 15 connects the airport to the city’s bus terminal and the main city stop at San Rocco Square. From these stops, you can catch city buses around Corfu Town. For destinations around the island, Green Buses spread outwards from Corfu Town as a hub. The layout, tall buildings, public spaces and fortifications that you see are Venetian. Perhaps this is why it feels so Italian sometimes.

With its Italian influence, Corfiot cuisine is notably different from its mainland counterpart. Don't miss out on trying delicious local delicacies.

Fish is also an important part of the diet. Local specialities include savoro, a spicy sauce made with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, raisins and bay leaves in which sailors would preserve their fish for long journeys — another Venetian legacy. Not to be missed is tsigareli, a delicious and very local way of serving green vegetables such as cabbage or spinach using lots of herbs and spices including paprika, dill, fennel and cayenne pepper. There’s also a lovely beach here (and a proper beach, not like the platforms at Faliraki) – look for the Royal Baths Cafe and Beach.
