Mount Pantokrator
Παντοκράτορας
Corfu's highest peak (906 m), where a summit monastery offers views over the whole island, Albania and mainland Greece.
The summit has a Pantokrator Monastery, founded in the 14th century, and a communications tower. On clear days you can see the Albanian coast and the Epirus mountains, and even the direction of Italy. You can drive up the narrow mountain road through Strinylas village, though it has many bends and is hard to pass oncoming cars. Alternatively, hike up from Old Perithia in 2 to 3 hours. The summit is windy and cool, so bring a jacket. The small taverns in Strinylas are a good place to rest.
