Fast food


As of 2021, McDonalds has permanently closed down. McDonalds was located in Corfu Town near the iconic Liston area. It’s was one of the only American Fast food joints on the island. I have yet to locate a KFC, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Wendy's, In-n-Out, Fiveguys, or Burger King.
Pita Gyros are also considered fast food. Thin slices of pork are typically taken from the spit then fitted into a pita to fulfil your hunger needs. Price for a pita is about 3.00 - 5,00 Euros, usually you will find them on the low end of 3.00 euros. Make sure they add the fries on top as it provides the extra and fulfilling flavor. A regular pork pita with everything on it is my personal favorite. 
You can also try a souvlaki (pieces of meat on a skewer). Pita houses usually sell them for an average price of 2.00 euros. You generally have a choice of chicken or pork. Souvlakis are very common at festivals.
