Highlights
- Old Perithia - Old Perithia, also known as the ghost village, has in the later years become one of the most popular places to visit in Corfu. It was built in the 14th century in the Pantokrator mountainsides, well-protected from the pirate attacks, it was at the time buzzing with life and wealth, as the inhabitants dealt mainly with farming lands and livestock.
With the rise of tourism, the locals began to leave the mountain, headed for the more popular coastal resorts, until the village was fully abandoned.
In the later years the village has seen a slight revival and there are restaurants serving local specialities, for those of you wishing to stop for lunch.

Amazing tour of Old Perithia - I wanted to organise something from the norm as a day trip for some friends and after discussing this with Spiro we decided a day trip to Old Perithia in the Northern part of the island was the place. Spiro toured us along the coastal road highliting a number of places of interest with his great knowledge of the island and then walked us around the old Ghost Town of Old Perithia and explaining a lot about the history of the area.
A fantastic and memorable day, thank you Spiro !!
