One of the oldest villages of Corfu you will come across, is Palaia Perithia. The village consists of about 130 abandoned stone houses built in Venetian architecture with stone from the surrounding area. The village churches are built in a circular arrangement around the village and are particularly impressive. With a walk through the old houses, the visitor travels back in time, while enjoying the truly wonderful view. The area has taverns where the visitor can enjoy the traditional dishes of Corfu. The view from PA tokratoras mountain is truly amazing. From there the visitor can gaze at the Ionian Sea, the mountains of Albania, and the beautiful Corfu villages.

The route from Strinyla to the top of the mountain is ideal for hiking or mountain biking so that the visitor can enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the magnificent landscape. At the top of the mountain at an altitude of about 917 meters is the Pantokrator Monastery. It is an one-room Byzantine church built in the 14th century, with wonderful hagiographies. At this time only one monk resides in the monastery.

Historical facts

The village of Perithia has been built since at least the 3rd century BC, but it flourished especially when, in the 14th century, many inhabitants from the coasts fled to the mountainous areas to be protected from pirate raids and malaria from mosquito bites. The villagers made their living mainly from animal husbandry and agriculture of limited products. From the 1950s onwards these risks were eliminated and people began to migrate to the coasts again, as they started working in the upcoming tourist business.
