Good to know
Good to Know
- Kavos is a party-focused resort with heavy British tourist influence, so English breakfasts and pub food are ubiquitous alongside Greek cuisine.
- Corfu's food blends Greek tradition with strong Venetian influence from centuries of Venetian rule; try cinnamon-spiced dishes like pastitsada and stifado for authentic local flavor.
- Budget meals (€8–14) are widely available at diners, tavernas and street food; mid-range dinners (€18–26) offer traditional Corfiot and seafood; high-end fine dining exists nearby but Kavos itself is not known for upscale establishments.
- Supermarkets in Kavos center open extended hours (typically 8am–9pm daily) to serve tourists; fresh produce and local Greek products are readily available.
- Vegan and vegetarian diners should seek out Pure Kavos or request modifications at traditional restaurants, though dedicated plant-based venues are limited.
- Try local Corfiot specialties like bourdeto (spicy fish stew) and nouboulo (smoked pork loin), available at most traditional tavernas.
- Corfiot wine and ouzo pair well with local dishes; kumquat products (liquor, candied sweets, jam) are unique local specialties sold in shops.
