Route Description
This hike is exclusively for the more experienced and adventurous hikers. This walk allows you to cross the mountain range of the highest mountain, Pandokrator , allowing the hiker to be rewarded with views and sights that are rarely seen. We start at Krinias (near Aharavi) and head towards Old Perithea, where we have a short rest. We then start our ascent of Mt Pandokrator. The view is breathtaking, you have in front of you the Adriatic Sea, Albanian mountains, Corfu town, Paxos and Lefkada. We continue our walk to be confronted by the monastery of St Arsenis, which has been built on a cliff drop above the village of Spartilas. From there we will follow the ‘worshippers ‘ footpath as it is called by the locals and soon after our walk ends.
