Taste Corfu’s authentic flavours
Corfu’s culinary traditions are rooted in the land and sea, blending Venetian, Greek, and local island influences into every bite.

Echoes of Corfu: A Cultural Journey
Corfu’s spirit is rooted in its rich cultural heritage - where ancient temples, Venetian fortresses, and seaside monasteries tell stories across centuries.
Visit the Monastery of Paleokastritsa or the iconic Panagia Vlacherna, both offering peace and panoramic views. Explore the Old Fortress, not only a historic landmark but also a summer stage for open-air concerts and music festivals. Step into the Museum of Asian Art, Europe’s only museum of its kind, housed in a grand neoclassical palace. Discover the ruins of the Temple of Artemis in Kanoni, and wander the regal halls and gardens of Achilleion Palace, once the retreat of Empress Sisi.
Each site is a portal to Corfu’s soul - inviting you to experience the island through its art, music, and timeless beauty.
Experience Corfu like a local
Step beyond the expected and live Corfu’s culture with heart:
Join a summer festival “Panigiri” in a nearby village, where local music, dancing, and food bring the community together under the stars.
Sail to the nearby isles of Paxoi, Antipaxoi, Syvota, and Othonoi, where time slows and the sea glows impossibly blue. Private boat tours can whisk you away to swim in sea caves and dine in seafront tavernas untouched by mass tourism. These curated experiences are perfect for families or couples seeking hidden Ionian bays.
