Route Description
On this walk we will go through old, traditional villages of North East Corfu. We start at Porta and move on to Rou, where we have a short rest. Rou is an old traditional village which has been restored by an English architect, yet still retaining its Greek and traditional identity. We move along to Old Sinies, here the derelict houses which still remain, remind us of what once used to be, a prosperous village with great history. Our next stop is Old Perithea, this village is well-maintained and you will be impressed by the old mansions and seven churches which are located around the village. In the quaint square, tavernas offer local Corfiot specialities, where you can try the local produce or have a quiet drink, surrounded by nature and the history of the area.
