About this experience

Your day begins with a private pickup by your English-speaking driver from Corfu Town, setting out to explore the island’s rugged north and its authentic mountain villages. First, ascend to Mount Pantokrator Summit (906m), where a small monastery overlooks breathtaking views of Albania, mainland Greece, and even Italy on clear days. Next, wander through Old Perithia, Corfu’s oldest preserved mountain village, with cobbled lanes, Venetian-era ruins, and welcoming tavernas offering traditional dishes. Finally, choose between a stop at Kassiopi Harbor, a lively fishing village with a charming waterfront, or the Spartilas Viewpoint, where sweeping vistas stretch back to Corfu Town. After a day immersed in Corfu’s mountain scenery and timeless character, your driver will return you comfortably to your accommodation.

Detailed itinerary

Mount Pantokrator Summit. The island’s highest peak at 906 meters, accessible by a paved road through winding villages. A small monastery crowns the summit, while the panoramic views stretch across the Ionian Sea, with Albania and mainland Greece clearly visible on a clear day.

Corfu’s oldest mountain village, dating back to Venetian times. Its stone houses, quiet squares, and cobbled lanes give an atmospheric glimpse into the island’s past. Several family-run tavernas serve hearty local dishes in a timeless mountain setting.

Kassiopi Harbor / Spartilas Viewpoint. Kassiopi offers a lively yet charming fishing harbor with cafés and a coastal atmosphere, while Spartilas rewards you with a highland lookout where you can admire the sweeping views across Corfu’s east coast. Either choice provides a scenic finale to the day.
