Corfu Villa Holiday – Eating out in Greece |
| Choosing a Corfu villa holiday with VillaPlus.com will allow you to experience the varied and delicious Greek cuisine. Eating out in Greece is a way of life and a national pastime and there are several different types of restaurant to choose from. Classic restaurants offer a wide selection of international and Greek cuisine and there are several international restaurants such as Chinese, Indian, Mexican and some excellent Italian restaurants and pizzerias to choose from. |

| If you want to sample the real Greek style of eating out on your Corfu villa holiday, you need to try the traditional 'tavernas' and grill rooms. Greek tavernas range from very basic little places by the sea or up in the mountains with a limited but usually very fresh home cooked menu, to huge establishments with large menus – great for those who are staying in one of our large holiday villas at VillaPlus.com and wishing to celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. Corfu shares with the rest of Greece a selection of starters and mezes which are shared between the whole company and then to have a main course each which includes grilled meat or fish or one of the many local casserole specialities such as Sofrito, Moussaka, Kleftiko or Pastitsada, accompanied by a glass or two of local house wine or 'retsina'. |

| If you like to sample the locally caught fish when eating out on your Corfu villa holiday, some tavernas specialise in fish where you will find octopus, squid, cuttlefish, prawns, mussels and lobster dishes on offer. Generally fish is either grilled over charcoal with herbs, olive oil and lemon or deep fried. Visit Kassiopi, a pretty harbour-side town at the Northern end of the north east coast of Corfu with a good choice of places to eat, drink and dance the night away. |
| |
| As in many Mediterranean countries, desserts are not big in Greece, most people preferring to finish their Greek meal with fruit or coffee. Don’t go home after your Corfu villa holiday without trying the sweet and rich 'baklava' filo pastry filled with different nuts and spices and covered in syrup or galaktabouriko, fine pastry with custard like cream inside, topped with honey or syrup. Or stick to the simpler and equally delicious Greek yoghurt with fresh honey and walnuts. |
