From around 11 a.m., life returns to the village. Then the astonishing number of restaurants open and invite you to stop by.

Very interesting village. You can see that the houses are being rebuilt in some places. Now in May there is an incredibly diverse array of natural flowers to admire.

The first written records of Perithia date back to the 14th century. However, it is assumed that Perithia was inhabited for much longer. In its heyday, Perithia was one of the wealthiest places on the island and had up to 1,200 inhabitants. There were around 130 houses and eight churches. The location of the town at around 450 meters originally offered protection from pirate attacks and the malaria that was rampant on the coast at the time. Livestock farming was an important industry, other agriculture was mainly only possible in fields in the lower coastal region. In the 19th century, there were hardly any pirate attacks and more and more people spent the winter on the coast and only the malaria-prone summer months in Palea Peritheia. The town was gradually abandoned in the 1960s after the risk of malaria on the Greek islands had been averted and tourism provided jobs on the coast. Source: Wikipedia

A popular fishing village with restaurants and shops on Corfu’s stunning northeast coast. Well worth dropping off the main road for an explore.

Some great views from the village at the top of a series of hairpin bends.

This small fishing village is a gem on Corfu’s north coast with several cafes offering an opportunity to refuel just off the main coast road. Good views from the Byzantine Fort for anyone with time to stop for longer.
