At Patounis Soap Factory, you'll learn that not all soaps are created equal. In continuous operation since the 19th century, the factory uses traditional production methods to create a line of pure olive soaps. A living reminder that family-run, traditional businesses can survive in the modern world and thrive thanks to exports, the factory still features tools and equipment from the 1890s. In the summer, you can take a free guided tour of the premises to see the production process and learn about this important local industry. Check the website for more info and opening hours. Plan my trip to Corfu Town with suggested itineraries provided by Inspirock.

This is only a small place but a bit out of the ordinary. There are tours at 12pm but we just popped in when passing.

We found this little treasure near the end of our holiday in Corfu. We managed to get on the "booking only" daily tour, which was so interesting. The business has been around for generations and is still making soap in the same building, in the same way, using the same moulds as the first batch all those years ago. Great experience and the soap's pretty good too! Thoroughly recommend it

BEST OLIVE OIL SOAPS IN THE WORLD! The high quality soaps are sold in this shop. You can choose different purpose soaps. Don't just go into the shop, buy the soap and leave. I recommend visiting the shop at noon and taking a guided tour through the production process. The owner will thoroughly explain how the soaps are made and will guide you through more than 170 years old history. Respect for non-palm oil policy! Well done! #soapshop #landmark #patounis #corfu #history #mustvisit #soapfactory
