Touched by a myriad of cultures over the centuries, including Greek, Roman, Venetian, and French,Corfu’s rich cultural tapestry is reflected in its gastronomy and architecture.
The Old Town of Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is shaped by Venetian legacy with its narrow, winding streets and tall and arched windows and doors, remnants of Italian rule. This design is complemented by a diverse culinary heritage. Roman contributions include dishes like bourdetto, a traditional spicy fish stew, while Byzantine influence is evident in desserts such as pasteli, made from sesame. The French left their mark with wine-based sauces, exemplified by the local dish sofrito, veal in wine sauce.
