About Ano Perithia
On the top slopes of Mount Pantokrator are the old ruins of farms and villages. Corfu’s Byzantine people built them when they fled from the coastal villages after repeat raids on their houses by pirates. When everything had settled down, they then moved back to their original homes by the sea.
A beautiful old church welcomes you into the village. When you stroll through the village, you get an eerie feeling as you see the abandoned houses with the shutters hanging off and the doors wide open.
Walk through the cobbled streets and eventually you will be in the village square, where you will find two outdoor tavernas.
