Mount “Pantokratoras” (Almighty) is located on the north eastern part of Corfu Island and has a maximum altitude of 920m (3018ft).   Up there we will enjoy the spectacular view of the hole Island of Corfu and the sea straights between Albania and Greece. Our Hike involves going up that mountain starting from village “Meggoulas” and proceeding to the big cave of “Grava”. After a small drink break, we will then procced downwards on our way meeting the historic 'Heritage Protected’ village of “Old Peritheia”, in “A Designated Area of Natural Beauty” that was a winner of "TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence” in 2016-2018. The village of “Old Peritheia” is the oldest example of the original mountain villages of Corfu. Records date back to the mid-14th century, although it is considered to have been inhabited many centuries before. Around 130 houses were built, entirely by hand, some of which have now fallen into ruins & many of which are now under restoration. The village, once inhabited by approximately 1200 people, was one of the wealthiest on the island, surrounded by vines, oak trees and thousands of sheep that roamed across the mountainside. To this day, with its cobbled streets & ancient houses, the atmosphere retains its warmth & friendliness. Encircled by eight churches & nestling beneath the island's highest mountains, Old Peritheia is set amidst beautiful countryside with views to the sea, it was once a hideaway from Pirate attacks. Back in those days, the 'best land' was in the mountains and land by the sea as practically worthless and unsuitable for farming etc. That all changed when tourism began to get a foothold in the 1950s-60s, and the village population migrated to the new-found wealth & jobs in tourism.  

The monastery of “Pantokrator“ (God Almighty) is located in the southern Corfu, close to “Agios Mathaios” village. The overview of the understanding region is breathtaking and fulfills a human’s soul with calm and admiration for the vastness of the sea. Our hiking activity will start at “Agios Mathaios” village were will be able to sea the “Ionian Pelagos”. This sea with it’s spectacle blue color will come to our sight as soon as we hike to the top of the hill, reaching the famous monastery. After a small stop at this really spectacular panoramic we will proceed to the descending part of our hike, following a narrow path, through a nature dense of olive trees and bushes. On this hike we will have the opportunity to outline & visit some historical places concerning the area. One of the is “Grava” a Paleolithic cave in the area.

A breath away outside Corfu town is a place that does not look like any other on the island. A really green forest stretching from "Viros“ village to "Kombitsi“ village & "Triklino“ area is the place of our relaxing hike. Tall Oaks, Pines  and Chestnuts trees combined with other species of trees & shrubs give the feeling like of a fairy-tale adventurous forest. This pristine area is ideal for walking, cycling not excluded, in the lush vegetation and wildflowers. The most important attraction of "Kombitsi" village is the ruined mansion of the "Kombitsi's" family, noblemen of the 18th century, of whom the village was named after. This "Palace", now a private home, is a P-shaped building with a simple, but elegant architecture, that points to a renaissance convent with arches around its large inner courtyard. Another important attraction in "Kombitsi" area is the impressive, restored Venetian fountain of monumental character, with a very interesting Baroque architecture, from which the village was formerly supplied with water for many years.

In this hike we will be able to immerse ourselves in the era of the early Roman knights. We will visit a unique “Byzantine” (Eastern Roman) fortress and admire the fantastic views of the north west coast on this ramble along ancient paths and country lanes. Built on top of a green hill with very old olive trees, there is an ancient village with a history that goes back to the 13th century A.D. Probably the first inhabitants were craftsmen who have helped in the building of this famous “Angelokastro” (Angel’s Castle). The most important path, the “bricklayer path” connects this castle with a wonderful coast situated on the west of Corfu, the famous “Saint Georges” beach,  small port of the past era, where all the supplies were disembarked before getting into the castle by that path.   Highlight is the “Makrades” village, known for its old architecture,  maintained until today.
