Old Perithia

Explore Old Perithia, a ghost village on the northern side of Corfu, just 8 km away from Kassiopi, and 38 km north of Corfu Town.

Constructed on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, at an altitude of 650 m, Old Perithia is a wonderful place to visit. Old Perithia was originally established in the 14th century, during the Byzantine times. Its location shows the need of people that time to move from the coastal side and protect themselves from pirate and enemy attacks. The road is very rough and you definitely need a car for easy access!
