Rising nearly 3,000 feet (900 meters) above Corfu, Mount Pantokrator stands as the island’s highest peak, offering expansive views that stretch across the Ionian Islands and even reach Albania on a clear day. Visitors can choose to drive or hike to the summit, where they are greeted by a panoramic vista. At the top, the Moni Pantokrator monastery and the historic mountain village of Old Perithia await, providing a glimpse into the island’s rich cultural and religious heritage.
