A ready-made day in Corfu, planned by the guide: The island's highest point, the stone village of Old Perithea, then two coves on the north-east coast. By car.
Pantokrator summit ★★★★★ The island's roof at 906 m: a small monastery among the antennas, with all of Corfu below and Albania's mountains across the strait. A narrow road climbs from Strinylas; go early, before the haze.
Old Perithea village ★★★★★ Old Perithea, a village at the foot of Mount Pantokrator declared a monument in 1996; easy to reach by car, and usually busy.
Avlaki ★★★★☆ A small pebble beach in the north with sunbeds, a café, a taverna and a beach bar; very popular, and parking is limited.
Kerasia ★★★★☆ A large beach of big pebbles and blue-green water in the north-east, with parking right beside it; it has a small taverna, and Agios Stefanos and Kassiopi are close for a meal afterwards.
