Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Reviewed By marklinderNE - Omaha, United States

A must for anyone interested in seeing the sites associated with the ministry of the Apostle Paul, as well as the history, religion, and culture of the area from ancient Greek through the Roman period. For those especially interested in the Erastus inscription, be aware that it's located on the grounds around the theater, which is an area separate from the rest of the site. Cross the parking lot from the ticket office and bear to your left, and you'll see the steps down to the theater grounds, and you'll see the area marked off where the inscription is located.

Old Perithia, 'Corfu's Oldest Village.'

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.

Imbros Gorge

Reviewed By makalu8000 - Toronto, Canada

This is a easy two hour hike through a beautiful gorge. Entrance ticket 3 Euros. Just take good walking or running shoes and water. It gets really hot in the gorge so be prepared. This is not that busy and not crowded like Samaria Gorge. We noticed a lot of people struggling with the loose stones and the trail, but it is really pretty easy. It took us just under two hours and we took it easy. At the end you get accosted by taxi drivers at the various tavernas offering to take you back to the starting point. You can do this or walk back through the gorge. Recommended activity for Crete!
