Description

“Moraitika” is a small village located long the south coastline of Corfu, close to “Mesonghi” river. This area offers a great, full view of the Ionian sea with its blue green waters, giving the day a feeling of privilege.

Right above “Moraitica”, the hills overlooking the area, invite for a visit. Hiking on their sides while exploring the alter ego of the Corfiot country side, is an early morning happy task.

On the top of those hills, an old & traditional pictured small village by the name of “Episkopiana” sits peacefully there for many centuries. “Episkopiana” village can boast about being the place where the 1st governor of modern Greece, “Ioannis Kapodistrias”, was born. Even today, his house is well maintained within this village.

It was in fact in this house, back in 1819, that the heroes of the Greek Revolution, “Tzavellas” & “Kolokotronis”, according to the governor’s memoirs, stayed as his guests. “Episkopiana” village is also known as “Psychopiana”. The reason for this is that “Kapodistrias” called the villagers «Psychopianites mou», which means “my soul people”.

Narrow roads, lovely, colored, small houses built next to each other, old ruined chapels, many trees & a beautiful view of the west sea, are the key elements of this hike.

Our walk pass through the Corfiot olive woods around & into that village, while enjoying the stunning views, having much to discuss on historical details while having a Greek traditional coffee in our break in the village square.
