There are no large shopping centers or outlet malls in Corfu or near the town. However, there are many original stores and boutiques.
The peculiarity of a shopping tour of souvenir stores and small stores in Corfu is the extraordinary hospitality of the owners. They can not only treat visitors to a glass of ouzo and juice, but also make a small gift.
In most stores in Corfu the sales clerks will not only adjust everything to your size, but also, starting from the second purchase (you automatically become a regular customer), give 10-15% discount.
And only in Corfu you can buy a coveted piece of clothing or souvenir, even if you are walking around the city without money or a bank card. Simply tell the seller the name of your hotel (island-wide) and they will bring your item directly to your hotel at the agreed time, where you will pay for it.
Judging by reviews about shopping, among the stores the most important in Corfu are Marks&Spencer (during the sale season you can get a 70% discount), specialized bookstore Kinitro, boutique of elegant women's clothing Scandalo, confectionery Alexis. For leather goods we recommend to go to Lapel, for fur coats - to ARTPEL or Ricco Furs, for jewelry - to MAG Jewellery or Verita True Luxury.
What to bring from Corfu: handmade jewelry made of gold and silver, statuettes made of marble and alabaster, red and black-figure vases, lace, embroidery, leather jackets, coats of various furs, liqueur made of kumquats, mandolato (local nougat made of sugar or honey and roasted nuts: almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts) and, of course, olive oil.
