Kerkyra is one of the most popular Greek islands
among foreign tourists. Also, it’s history involves lots of foreign influence,
as the island was governed by many different nations. All this, makes Kerkyra
very “international” place. You can experience it on every corner by meeting
foreigners, hearing multiple languages spoken on the streets, but also by
observing customs and habits of its inhabitants.
While whole Greece is drinking morning frappe
in the summer and traditional Greek coffee in the winter, Kerkyra is choosing
cappuccino and espresso! Traditional local alcohols and sweets also have little
in common with typical products for Greece, like baklava, pasteli or
even ouzo.
Nowhere else in Greece You will find laundry being
dried on the strings outside the windows. Strings, no longer than 3m, pulled
between two opposite buildings, full of laundry – I like this views :-D
