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.

An abandoned traditional 800 year old village that's slowly being resurrected.. You can enjoy a beautiful hike and at the end of it enjoy a drink or meal at one of the taverns that have opened over the past few years!..

Old Perithia, 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, reclaimed and protected by nature. Since 2010 it’s been lovingly and gently coming back to life. Our favourite tavernas in Old Perithia are ‘Taverna Evdokia’ or ‘O Foros’. Both serve fabulous traditional homemade dishes in the heart of the old village.
