1. Old Perithia, 'Corfu's Oldest Village.'
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 411 reviews
One of the island's oldest 'hideaway' villages (of Venetian origins) and unquestionably its best preserved. Get the best out of your visit with the 'Guide to Old Perithia' which includes a self-guided 2.5km circular walk around the village (available on Amazon or at The Merchant's House in the village itself), if you come on a 'tour' don't expect to see much more than a quick look at a little of the village. There's 4 tavernas with local food, but to get a real feel of the village, do some research on its history and spend time walking around the whole village. There are 130 houses & 8 churches and the village has been gently coming back to life over the past 10 years, from 12% restored to over 35% today - but it's 'work in progress' ;) The Merchant's House sleeps 6 to 8. The village has been slowly and sympathetically brought back to life by the support of its owners, Mark & Saskia. Look out for the Map & Sign + a Brief History of Old Perithia as you arrive!

Enjoying our Villa holiday in Corfu my wife and I ventured out for a day trip along the North East coast. Having read about the abandoned village of Old Perithia we were looking forward to visiting. Despite a less than comfortable journey up the mountain, due to the numerous potholes, what awaited us was well worth the effort. A fabulous place to walk around, incredibly peaceful and beautiful scenery. Great place to enjoy lunch with Tavernas to suit all tastes. We chose to eat at Taverna The Old Perithia and enjoyed the best lunch of our holiday. Fantastic place, incredible food and home made ginger beer. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit.

The Liston is a beautiful place to sit and relax/people watch/take in the views of the city. Lots of lovely cafes and restaurants and centrally located - close to taxis/bus stops and the ocean.
