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.
