The first olive trees are believed to have been cultivated in Greece, creating the foundation of almost all Mediterranean dishes - olive oil. Greece is even believed to be the source of the very first recipe book, written by Archestratus in BCE. The simplicity of these staples is testament to the delightful taste of Greek dishes.
While Italian food boasts richness and rustic homeliness, Greek food brings freshness and brightness and transports you to sunshine and island living. However, there is much more to traditional Greek food than just the classics. Some of our favourite, lesser-known treats include:. Each of our villas located on the Greek islands offers guests the opportunity to try unique local flavours and specialities.
Corfu is a particularly interesting island from a historical and culinary perspective as it was never under Turkish rule. Instead, Corfu was ruled over by the Venetians for centuries, which means that visiting foodies can enjoy the very best of both Greek and Italian food cultures, all rolled into one.
On Corfu lies serene Ataraxia , our breath-taking five-bedroom villa with views over the tranquil Avlaki Bay. Here, guests can indulge in Greek delicacies prepared by an in-villa chef who can be booked in advance. Ataraxia enjoys a peaceful location atop olive tree-covered hills with the village of Kassiopi just 2. At both of these locations, guests can enjoy fresh seafood and local flavours from an array of authentic tavernas and restaurants.
Greek mezze is the order of the day, allowing diners to sample a little of everything Corfu has to offer, from fresh tzatziki to delicious dolmades. We recommend you make sure to try the Corfiot speciality pastitsada - rooster or veal cooked with cinnamon, laurel, nutmeg, onion, red wine, tomato and garlic.
