Great place to sample some traditional tsipouro. Tsipouro is a pure grape distillate, similar to Italian Grappa.
As the drink is quite strong containing 40-45% alcohol by volume, it is advisable to have a 'meze' with it.( Meze is a selection of small dishes served as appetizers)

Blue 🔵 and green 💚 busses to get around
The best way to get around Corfu when you haven't rented a car or motorbike is by bus.
They are much cheaper than the taxis however require more time.
Please note that the blue busses are for close to town destinations and the green busses are for longer destinations.
