Thinking of vacation in Corfu one gives further consideration to accommodation: what is totally understandable. Yet the moment hotel or an apartment is booked future visitors begin to analyse other aspects of their vacation. One of the main, most important is cuisine. Or rather, the way and places visitors will be eating various dishes. As Corfu is a Greek island it is no wonder that most popular type of restaurant there are tavernas. So: what is a Greek taverna?
Years ago we did have various inns scattered along main roads all over Europe, places to have a square meal, drink and find place to have a good night’s sleep. Those ones later evolved into, for example, Bristish and Irish pubs. Such places in Corfu, or rather, in whole Greece are called tavernas.
You enter the place and first thing that is noticed is the wide, toothy grin of your host. Secondly you smell a really tasty roast lamb and see barrels of best Greek wine. There is no option but to sit down and simply make an order, then wait and finally savour with that raost lamb, or a salad with famous feta cheese. Sipping deliciuos wine just completes the picture.
Corfù , as a truly Greek island , boasts whole lot of different tavernas, so each and every individual will find something for himself.
