Old Perithia (Paleo Perithia) is a medieval village on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator in the north of Corfu, largely abandoned in the 20th century but now being slowly restored. About 130 stone houses from the 14th–18th centuries survive almost intact, along with several churches and a small square — all empty and overgrown, giving the village an eerie quality that differs sharply from the developed coastal resorts below.
The village is accessible by a reasonably good road from the north coast (about 40 minutes from Corfu Town by car). A few tavernes serve local food in the old houses; go on a weekday for the quietest experience. From Perithia, a marked path climbs to the summit of Pantokrator (906 m), the highest point on the island, with views extending to Albania, Paxos, and the Italian coast on a clear day.
