Cooking Adventures in Corfu – May, June, September & October 2013 8 days / 7 nights starting on Saturday every week
Corfu is the island that, once you get to know it, you will love forever!!!
Corfu is a place that breathes in a green environment, swims in virgin sea, walks through its European history and has been living to this day in respect (there was a space missing) for tradition! It is a historic place with a blessed nature that is awaiting you to meet it, to spend time together… and it goes beyond any doubt that upon leaving this place you will realize that a new love will accompany you from now on!
Our Cooking adventures are all based in Corfu. The aim is to introduce you to, and familiarize you with, the Greek Cuisine in the way that Greeks cook at home but also specifically to introduce you to the Corfiot cuisine, the real local life and of course show you the beauties of this special island.
You will be our guests and you will be treated in the exact same way that a real Corfiot would treat his guests.
