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.

The word ‘Corfu’ did ring the bell. Undoubtledy. It caused my heart to pound excitedly. Mainly due to the fact that i was tired. I felt just exhausted. I could not deny the fact that I was in a desperate need for a change of scene.
Completing my university degree in biology was the most demanding task I have ever attempted to handle. Months of ceaseless stress < whether or not my researches do present a scientific value> connected with that desire to do my best left me breathless. The only thing that could bring me back to life was to have the holidays of my life. That is : to reject the proposition of going to Greenland and spending there two months to have a deep look into its summer fauna. I had to go there where all tourists go : a hot place, with an abundance of beaches and attractions. With no further consideration and hesitation i decided to go to Corfu : that legendary Greek island where the only thing i would have to bother would be the proper amount of sun-tan oil. Moreover the sea there is aquamarine, crystal clear and warm all year round.
And I have always dabbled in history. Where if not in Greece I would be given the chance to feel the spirit of ancient history?
Sandy beaches you’d better be ready to fulfil my expectations
