Old Perithia

Historic Stone Village beneath Mount Pantokrator

ABOUT

Old Perithia is part of North Corfu. One of Corfu's most distinctive historic villages, known for stone architecture, traditional tavernas and its setting beneath Mount Pantokrator.

Old Perithia is a historic stone village on the slopes beneath Mount Pantokrator. Its restored and weathered houses, lanes and tavernas create one of the island's most distinctive heritage settings.

Many visitors combine time in the village with walking or a drive through northern Corfu. It is very different from the coastal resorts and is especially appealing to anyone interested in architecture, history and traditional landscapes. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in history & culture, traditional villages, walking, scenic views and food & drink.

There is no direct bus to Old Perithia, so most visitors arrive by car, taxi or private transfer. A free parking area is located at the village entrance, leaving the historic stone settlement itself to be explored on foot.
