Old Peritheia is the oldest village in Corfu, which is located in the heart of Mount Pantocrator ruined stone mansions and semi-ruined temples with forever muted bell towers compose the landscape of Old Peritheia a village that time has forgotten.
With houses of the 14th century, Old Peritheia is Corfu's most ancient village. Strategically built to be safe from pirate attacks it is built at the top of Mount Pantocrator, Corfu's highest mountain.
The village is surrounded by dense forest with views of the Ionian Sea. For decades the village was deserted until 1960 when tourism hit Corfu.
