CORFU – AN EMERALD I SLAND
TRANSPORT
Corfu boasts its own international Ioannis Kapodistrias airport that
handles regular charter flights from different European countries. It sits
about 3 km South of Corfu Town on the Eastern part of the island. It is
also easy to get to Corfu by sea from mainland ports of Igoumenitsa and
Patra. In high season ferries come and go almost every hour providing
the necessary connections to the other islands and to the mainland. To
travel inside the island one can use the local public buses.
ENTERTAINMENT
For those who are just bored spending all their days on the beach and
want to amuse themselves with something different there is a good
opportunity to try local cricket field and a golf course. Your children will
be really grateful to you if you take them to the local “Aqualand” to
enjoy water adventures there. If you like staying up all night, you can
choose any of the island’s clubs, discos and. Otherwise, you can visit
local casino.
CUISINE
Local cuisine was greatly influenced by the Venetians. The way of cook-
ing of many dishes has remained mostly the same as centuries ago. It
should be born in mind that a lot of dishes here are richly spiced. Prob-
ably one of the most popular local dishes is “sofrito” («σοφρίτο»), which
is a thinly sliced veal steak cooked with garlic, parsley, white wine, pep-
per and vinegar. “Bourdeto” (“μπουρδέτο”) is fish cooked with red spicy
pepper, onion, paprika. The best fish for “bourdeto” is the scorpion fish.
Usually it is served with lemon. “Tsigareli” (“τσιγαρέλι”) is a spicy dish
prepared from different wild greens, onion, garlic and red spicy pepper.
Do not miss a chance to taste local “pastitsada” (“παστιτσάδα”): this is
another dish that is also favoured by many guests.
SOUVENIRS AND SHOPPING
Corfu is very famous for its handcrafted objects that are prepared from
olive wood. There are a lot of shops in Corfu Town where you can buy
local olive oil and olive soap. Those who appreciate local spirit can get
tagari (ταγάρι), a woolen bag. In case you have enough time and wish
as well you can visit one of the mountain villages which are known for
their lace and linen. And do not forget to take a couple of bottles of local
kumquat liqueur.
