Market to Table

Your experience begins in the heart of Corfu Town, at the Old Port. From there, a gentle walk through the island’s narrow alleys leads to the lively open fruit and fish market — a place where daily life unfolds just as it has for generations. Among colorful stalls filled with freshly caught fish, seasonal vegetables, fragrant herbs, and sun-ripened fruits, you will meet local producers and select the ingredients that will shape the day’s meal. The sounds, aromas, and friendly negotiations with the vendors create an authentic introduction to the island’s culinary culture.

With the finest local ingredients in hand, you will continue to a welcoming countryside home where a local chef introduces you to the art of traditional Greek cooking. After a warm welcome with small local delicacies, you may choose to participate hands-on in the preparation or simply observe the process while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Along the way, you will learn how to taste extra virgin olive oil, recognize its quality, and discover the traditional techniques behind authentic Corfiot recipes — including the timeless method of cooking in a wood-fired oven. The experience concludes around the table, where fresh, organic dishes prepared with simple ingredients and time-honored methods are shared in the spirit of genuine Greek hospitality.
