Create an itinerary including Pantokrator
Capture magnificent views of the surrounding islands from the top of Pantokrator, the highest point on the island. Visit the monastery located at the summit, walk around the courtyard, and stop for refreshments at the nearby cafe. Be on the lookout for owls hopping around on the rocks at the summit. Walk or drive up the winding road leading to the peak, but avoid the journey if you have a fear of heights, as the drive up is steep with mountain drops down the side. Parking is available at the summit for your convenience. Be sure to remember your sunscreen, as the sun can be strong at this elevation. Add Pantokrator and other attractions to your Agios Matheos trip itinerary using our Agios Matheos trip itinerary planning tool.

  • Mt. Pantokrator is the highest peak of Corfu. First to clear something - ignore reviews saying only 4x4 can reach - every car can drive up, maybe only weaker mopeds wont be able. Once up, you cannot.....  more

  • Incredible views across Corfu, road up is obviously going to be awkward, so not ideal if you're not confident in your driving. However if you can get to the top it is more than worth it.
  • You can drive by car to the top, asphalt, winding and narrow road. Beautiful view, but the surroundings leave a lot to be desired, very neglected and built-up with radio transmitters. There is a monastery at the top, under a huge steel tower ... in the monastery you can light candles and buy souvenirs in the shop.
  • Nice trip and view to whole Corfu. Also beutiful monastery. The road was not that bad as I expect. 😁👍 * Be wary of people along the way who claim to be out of gas and want money from you. We gave the gentleman at the car and it was a scam. On the way back, he collected money from other people.
  • Awesome view nearly all over Corfu and also to Algeria and Greece. You can park next to the peak - no big walk. There is also a café where you can relax, get a cold or warm drink and enjoy the view.
  • Personally thought the view was amazing and definitely worth the trip. Can’t complain about the route but we travelled more from the northern side so maybe a bit easier. If you like views, I’d definitely recommend
