Mountain & Villages: Mount Pantokrator Summit & Old Perithia

Experience Corfu in comfort with a private and fully personalised sightseeing ride. Together with your English-speaking Welcome Driver, you can choose which places to visit, how long to spend at each stop, and whether to follow our suggested itinerary or create your own custom route.

Your driver is a friendly local professional with excellent knowledge of the island’s mountainous interior and traditional villages. They’ll share useful insights, stories and recommendations along the way, helping you discover Corfu like a knowledgeable friend, without the pressure of strict schedules or crowded group tours.

This flexible, door-to-door experience is the easiest and most comfortable way to explore the island’s top landmarks, panoramic viewpoints and authentic village life. Choose your pace, personalise your route, and enjoy a smooth, stress-free journey designed entirely around your interests.

Suggested Itinerary

Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Corfu Town and set off toward the rugged northern part of the island.

Your first stop is 1Mount Pantokrator Summit, the highest point in Corfu at 906 meters. Follow the winding mountain road through pine forests and small villages to reach the summit monastery. From here, enjoy sweeping views that, on clear days, stretch across the Albanian coast, the Greek mainland, and even distant Italian mountains. Take time to explore the peaceful monastery grounds and soak in the dramatic panorama.

Continue on to 2Old Perithia, Corfu’s oldest preserved mountain village. Old Perithia is a stone-built settlement dating back to Venetian times, with cobbled lanes, atmospheric ruins, and carefully restored tavernas. Wander the quiet streets and, if you wish, pause for an optional lunch featuring traditional Corfiot dishes in an authentically rustic setting.

To conclude your journey, head to 3Kassiopi Harbor / Spartilas Viewpoint, where you can choose between two contrasting stops. Visit Kassiopi harbor, a lively fishing village with a scenic waterfront and relaxed seaside atmosphere, or opt for Spartilas, a hillside viewpoint offering expansive views back toward Corfu Town. Either option provides a gentle and scenic finale before the return drive.

After exploring Corfu’s mountainous heart and experiencing a side of the island far removed from the beaches, relax as your driver returns you comfortably to your accommodation in Corfu Town.
