North East Corfu

The highest peak on Corfu (914 metres), Pantokrator rises in the middle of the north-eastern part of the island. The sheer eastern slopes, covered with olive groves and looking out towards the mainland opposite and the Albanian coastline, drop sharply to the sea, forming a series of little coves and beaches, a mainly rocky coastline with picturesque headlands and peninsulas.

The great plateau of Pantokrator lies at a height of 700 metres above sea-level. The summit, with its monastery and communications aerials, stands to the north of the plateau. On August 6th, the biggest festival on the island takes place here, and in the evening people walk up the  footpaths to the monastery, carrying candles and torches.

Kassiopi is the centre of the region, and its harbour offers the greatest choice for dining and entertainment. Ancient Kassiopi was founded in 281 BC by residents of the Epirot town of the same name, who were brought here by Pyrros when he captured the island. Nero is said to have sung at the temple here when he visited the region.

The Venetian village of Old Perithia has its roots in ancient times. With its stone-built mansions and many churches, it is an impressive example of the old lifestyle. Today, it is a 'living museum'. During the winter, only a few people live there and on the last Sunday in July there is a procession, when the icon of the Virgin is carried around the village in memory of the time in 1863 when she intervened to save the village from an epidemic.
