Corfu Shore Excursion To Mount Pantokrator

Wonderful views, authentic experience, with Spyros-a great guide!

Spyros picked us up from the cruise terminal (easy to find him) in a nice 4x4 vehicle, clean and with air conditioning. He drove us all over the island, to a beautiful mountain, an orthodox monastery up the hill, a historic village, and had lunch in a local authentic Greek taverna. Wonderful views, this tour gave us a general idea about most of the island in just 6 or 7 hours. It was just the 2 of us, as no other clients purchased this tour. I highly recommend this tour company. Very professional and efficient. After purchasing the tour, I communicated with them via WhatsApp and they always replied quickly. I will definitely use their services in other Greek islands as well, as their tours go to "out of the ordinary places", where tourists do not go. This way you really get to know the local culture. Spyros, our guide- was a young guy, energetic, friendly, spoke perfect English, and did everything possible to make our experience unforgettable. He spoke to us all the time, which we appreciated, gave us a lot of great information about Corfu and Greece in general, and he was wonderful. A real asset to this tour company. Thank you for providing excellent tour services!.

Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village

Old Perithia – A Historic Village Where Time Stands Still on Corfu Island

Old Perithia – A Historic Village Where Time Stands Still on Corfu Island If you want to experience the authentic spirit of Corfu and discover a place far away from the crowded beaches and busy tourist resorts, Old Perithia (Palia Perithia) is a destination that will truly amaze you. Located on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, this remarkable village was built in the 14th century as a refuge from pirate attacks. Once one of the most prosperous and important settlements on Corfu, the village was gradually abandoned over time. Today, it has become a unique cultural treasure that preserves the island’s rich history and traditional character. As you walk through Old Perithia, you will discover narrow stone-paved streets and beautifully preserved traditional stone houses that tell stories of centuries past. The village is home to eight historic churches, each reflecting a different chapter of its fascinating heritage. The peaceful atmosphere, breathtaking mountain views, and authentic charm make every step through the village an unforgettable experience. After exploring the old streets, visitors can relax in one of the traditional Greek tavernas and enjoy delicious local Corfiot cuisine. For those who love nature and adventure, the scenic hiking trails around Mount Pantokrator offer spectacular views and a chance to connect with the island’s natural beauty. A visit to Old Perithia can easily be combined with a trip to the nearby beaches of Acharavi or Kassiopi, allowing you to experience both the history and the stunning landscapes of Corfu in one journey. Old Perithia is more than just a historic village – it is a journey back in time, a place where the past comes alive and where the true soul of Corfu can be discovered. If you are looking for authentic experiences, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories, Old Perithia deserves a special place on your travel list.

Old Perithia the Ghost Town and Northeast of Corfu

Nice village between past and present - WATCH OUT for your phone plan!

We thought we’d discover a ghost village, but there’s a great vitality: a few restaurants and shops allow visitors to linger and enjoy the place to the fullest. It is even possible to stay overnight. On the other hand, WARNING to all European visitors: as soon as you arrive, the phones automatically connect to the Albanian network. Many of us had the unpleasant surprise of a non-package package — fortunately limited to €30, or up to €60 for some. Operators sometimes accept exceptional reimbursement, but it seems that vigilance is incumbent on users rather than the network, which does not provide any specific alert to avoid this trap.
