One of the island’s most unique places to visit on the island. A Village of Venetian origin that was once a hideaway from pirates, was all but deserted. Since 2009 it’s been lovingly and gently coming back to life.

Old Perithia, is a historic 'Heritage Protected' village in 'A Designated Area of Natural Beauty', is situated on the attractive north east corner of the island, and just below Mount Pantokrator (The Almighty). It is the oldest example of the original mountain villages of Corfu. Records date back to the mid 14th century, although it is considered to have been inhabited many centuries before. Around 130 houses were built, entirely by hand, some of which have now fallen into ruins, many of which are now under restoration. The village, once inhabited by approximately 1200 people, was one of the wealthiest on the island, surrounded by vines, oak trees and thousands of sheep that roamed across the mountainside. To this day, with its cobbled streets and ancient houses, the atmosphere retains its warmth and friendliness. Encircled by eight churches and nestling beneath the island's highest mountains, Old Perithia is set amidst beautiful countryside with views to the sea, and was once a hideaway from Pirate attacks. Back in those days, the 'best land' was in the mountains, and land by the sea was practically worthless and unsuitable for farming, etc. That all changed when tourism began to get a foothold in the 1950s-60s, and the village population migrated to the new found wealth & jobs in tourism.

A “Designated Area of Natural Beauty” to the northeast of Corfu, Old Perithia is a mostly abandoned upland village under Mount Pantokrator. Once home to as many as 1,200 people the village sits at an elevation of 650 metres and dates back at least as far as the 1300s. Most of the 130 remaining houses are in various picturesque states of disrepair though some have been turned into accommodation. You could give yourself a while to amble around Old Perithea’s stone paths, tracking down its eight churches and basking in the distant views to the sea over oaks, vines and cypress trees. Great place to have lunch
