4Savor Local Cuisine
The Ionian Islands have a rich culinary tradition influenced by Venetian, French, and British rule. In Corfu, try dishes like sofrito (veal in white wine sauce) and pastitsada (spiced meat with pasta). Kefalonia is known for its meat pies, while Zakynthos offers delicious seafood and local cheeses.Â
Dining at family-run tavernas is one of the best ways to experience the islands. Look for places filled with locals—this is usually a sign of authentic and high-quality food. Pair your meals with local wines or a glass of ouzo for a true Greek experience.
