Loutses
A rugged inland village near Old Perithia
ABOUT
Loutses is a small traditional village in northern Corfu, well placed for exploring the foothills of Mount Pantokrator, Loutses Cave and the wider Old Perithia area.
Village scenery and a specialist cave outing
Loutses is a base for exploring the northern Pantokrator foothills, with Old Perithia and the north coast providing contrasting excursions. The nearby Megali Grava cave is a distinct activity: specialist cave information describes a steep descent and slippery conditions on the approach. It should not be presented as an effortless village stroll.
Choosing the right day out
Spend time in the village and select one further outing, whether that is a mountain-village visit or the coast. If the cave is your main interest, obtain current local guidance and make a separate plan for the approach and equipment. For public transport, check Green Bus A19 and the return journey. For a stay, establish how the property connects with food shopping and the roads you intend to use for daily excursions.
Getting around, beaches and evenings
Green Bus A19; check the timetable, exact stop and final walk to your accommodation.
No beach in the village. Kassiopi, Almyros and nearby north-coast coves provide the main swimming options.
Very quiet and rural. Kassiopi offers the nearest substantial choice of restaurants, bars and evening venues.
