Corfu lifestyle

Locally made goods are very reasonably priced and available in most resorts as well as Corfu Town. They often make unusual gifts and range from olive wood statues, to lace and leather goods. Gold and pottery make good buys, as does the locally produced Kumquat liqueur. Head for Corfu Town for the widest selection of shopping.

Along with many of the Greek Islands, the best way to appreciate the great variety of Greek specialities is by ordering a meze which will consist of small local plates of dips as well as local fish and meat dishes for the whole family to enjoy. Taverna and restaurants offer a wide varierty of local and international cuisine.

Many resorts on the island offer a good selection of bars and night-life, however if you're looking to be completely spoilt for choice then Sidari in the north or Kavos in the south are the places to head for, for all night throbbing night-life.
