Old Perithia – A Historic Village Where Time Stands Still on Corfu Island
Old Perithia – A Historic Village Where Time Stands Still on Corfu Island If you want to experience the authentic spirit of Corfu and discover a place far away from the crowded beaches and busy tourist resorts, Old Perithia (Palia Perithia) is a destination that will truly amaze you. Located on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, this remarkable village was built in the 14th century as a refuge from pirate attacks. Once one of the most prosperous and important settlements on Corfu, the village was gradually abandoned over time. Today, it has become a unique cultural treasure that preserves the island’s rich history and traditional character. As you walk through Old Perithia, you will discover narrow stone-paved streets and beautifully preserved traditional stone houses that tell stories of centuries past. The village is home to eight historic churches, each reflecting a different chapter of its fascinating heritage. The peaceful atmosphere, breathtaking mountain views, and authentic charm make every step through the village an unforgettable experience. After exploring the old streets, visitors can relax in one of the traditional Greek tavernas and enjoy delicious local Corfiot cuisine. For those who love nature and adventure, the scenic hiking trails around Mount Pantokrator offer spectacular views and a chance to connect with the island’s natural beauty. A visit to Old Perithia can easily be combined with a trip to the nearby beaches of Acharavi or Kassiopi, allowing you to experience both the history and the stunning landscapes of Corfu in one journey. Old Perithia is more than just a historic village – it is a journey back in time, a place where the past comes alive and where the true soul of Corfu can be discovered. If you are looking for authentic experiences, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories, Old Perithia deserves a special place on your travel list.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Corfu.
How much does Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Corfu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Corfu is not rushed.
Is Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Corfu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Corfu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Corfu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Perithia: A Legendary Tour of the Abandoned Village start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Corfu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Corfu?
+
On Outty we rank every Corfu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Food and Cultural Tour in Corfu, The Governor's Olive Mill Tour with Olive Oil Tasting, Electric Fat Bike Self Guided Tour Discover North Corfu. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Corfu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Corfu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
