Is food and drink expensive in Corfu?

While meal prices in Corfu can vary, the average cost of food in Corfu is €31 per day. Based on the spending habits of previous travelers, when dining out an average meal in Corfu should cost around €12 per person.



Compared to major Western European cities or other Greek islands like Mykonos or Santorini, Corfu remains a relatively affordable holiday destination in 2026. A standard meal at a local Greek taverna will generally cost between €15 and €25 per person, including a main dish and a drink. For budget travelers, a gyro or souvlaki wrap can still be found for under €5, making it very easy to eat cheaply. Local beer (like Mythos or Alfa) usually costs around €4 to €6, while a bottle of local house wine at a restaurant is often between €10 and €15. However, prices can spike significantly in the high-end resorts of Kassiopi or the upscale restaurants in Corfu Old Town. It is also important to note that while groceries are reasonably priced, imported luxury items and brand-name spirits are more expensive due to shipping costs. Overall, a daily budget of €50 to €70 is usually sufficient to enjoy a full day of eating and drinking out without feeling restricted, making Corfu a high-value Mediterranean choice for the 2026 season.
