Does anyone know of a modern quality kitchen designer/supplier on the island. We have nearly finished our villa on the road up from Sinies to Porta and need a kitchen!

Hi Linda
We had ours made to order by an excellent carpenter, Yannis, from Nimfes, He will take you to some of his sites to show you the quality. He not only made our kitchen but all the bedroom furniture as well as the beds, I showed him a photo on a couple of beds we likes and he said, ‘I can make that for you’ and he did. If it’s made of wood he made it for us, the only thing he couldn’t do was the dining chairs, we had to order them separately. Top quality workmanship. You can call him on 697 834 4780. Mention Mr. Mike from Lacones.

There is a big carpenters co-operative just along the main road to Kassiopi. It is on the right hand side a few hundred yards along the road after the turning up to Porta. If you have a photo/brochure of the type of kitchen you want then just take it into them and they will be able to measure up and give you quote. They do any type of carpentry in there.
Kitchen suppliers as we know it in the UK are very few and far between. Most people just get their kitchen/wardrobes etc. built by the local carpenter. There are one or two kitchen places on Corfu but only tend to have small showrooms.
If you take a look at my photos you will see our kitchen made by a Greek carpenter who is from the west of the island. Our builder organised this for us because that was the carpenter he always uses. However I have seen a lot of work done by the Sinies co-operative and the quality is excellent although I think a little more expensive.

Hi Fiona
Thank you for your response. I think I know where you mean. We went there to look at internal doors and were quoted over 1500 euros per door and as we needed 10 doors decided to look elsewhere!!
We actually ended up with a great carpenter father and son team from Acharavi who did the doors for less than half that price!
Don't think they do kitchens though!

Wooden doors are phenomenally expensive on Corfu! We even thought about shipping some over but the doorways are all odd sizes so in the end we decided to get what our budget afforded.
I seem to remember that there are a couple of kitchen shops in Corfu Town that sell those very glossy kitchens.

Hi Linda
If you take some pictures from a magazine or brochure, he will copy them, that what we did and we didn’t find him expensive either, he’ll give you a quote, and there is no obligation so it’s worth a try. We’ll be in Lacones from 11th Sept for 17 days, so it you want to come over and have a look, let me have your email address and I’ll send you our phone number and details of where we are.
All the best
Mike.
