Corfu City to Lakones and Palea Perithia: Private day trip

Reach Corfu's most spectacular viewpoint, perched 400 meters above the legendary Paleokastritsa coastline. Stand at the Bella Vista lookout where six emerald bays, dramatic rock formations, and endless Ionian Sea create what many call the Mediterranean's most beautiful panorama. Wander narrow village streets lined with traditional stone houses and flower-filled courtyards. Enjoy lunch at Clifftop Tavernas, serving slow-cooked stifado, fresh grilled fish, and local wines while gazing at the stunning coastal vista. Browse family shops selling handmade embroidery and olive wood crafts. The mountain elevation provides cooling breezes and spectacular sunset viewing as golden light illuminates the entire coastline.

Explore Corfu's oldest settlement, a 14th-century mountain village saved from abandonment through meticulous restoration. Walk between 130 traditional stone houses featuring distinctive Venetian architecture—red-tile roofs, arched doorways, and exterior staircases. Families once lived here self-sufficiently, protected from coastal malaria and pirate raids. Discover working tavernas in restored buildings serving authentic mountain cuisine, including wild game and ancestral recipes. The village served as a refuge during Venetian times, and today its peaceful atmosphere and architectural beauty provide intimate encounters with vanishing mountain heritage.
