Kèrkyra town offers some great restaurants with delicious food. The best restaurants are based around Plateia Dimarchiou (Town Hall square) and along Kapodistriou. The cuisine is influenced by many different cultures and Italian cuisine seems to have had a big influence. Some of the specialities worth trying are the Sofrito, the pastitsada and the bourdeto. The gelaterias are not to be missed either. Corfu town has many cafés, most of which line the main pedestrian street, Listón. A true Corfu experience is to watch the world go by whilst enjoying a frapp (ice-coffee drink). The more remote countryside of Corfu contrasts with the cosmopolitan type of the city. The visitor will pass landscapes that suit all tastes from secluded coves, mountaintops and lagoons to olive groves, grassy fields, shady streams and abandoned villages. In the north of the island you will be seduced by the luxurious beauty of the countryside.
The weather in Corfu is quite stable, through the summer it is sunny and hot with temperatures rising up to approximately 38 C and through the winter dropping down to an average temperature of 12 C. Best time to visit is April - Octomber |
