A sweet touch to complete your meal!
Every Easter table that respects tradition includes a variety of desserts. Staying true to traditional recipes and with a festive spirit, as every year in Corfu, experienced pastry chefs elevate classic sweets, giving them an even more refined taste. The delightful tsourekia—filled or classic and chewy—the Easter cookies made with fresh Corfiot butter, the iconic fogatses, and the chocolate eggs are just a few of the offerings from Corfu’s patisseries.
Since 1936, the sweets from the family-run Voulismas patisserie in the old town have been bringing joy and moments of indulgence throughout the year. From early in the morning during Easter, the alley of Sevastianou is filled with the aroma of colombines, tsourekia, unique chocolate logs, and many other top-quality treats that have become a beloved 'sweet' staple of the Easter table. Once you taste Voulismas’ Traditional Corfiot Fogatsa, one thing is certain—you’ll never call it tsoureki again…
