Hard hike. Very good fitness required. Mostly accessible paths. Sure-footedness required. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Green mountain slopes

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you wander around the plateau in a clockwise direction, the landscape suddenly changes at that point: Just then the path led you through a barren limestone landscape and after a bend you can see green, juicy mountain slopes in front of you - a great view.

Secluded hiking trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Up on the summit, the tourists frolic, here, however, you walk alone through the exciting limestone landscape below the Pantokrator. There are also wide views down to Kerkyra and the Albanian and Greek mainland.

View of Corfu Town, Corfu Airport, and Saranda from the summit of Mount Pantokrator.

Highlight • Summit

Once at the top, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the shade at the slightly higher prices on site. The view of Corfu Town and Saranda in Albania is also a highlight from the sunny rocks.

Pantokrator Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The Pantokrator (Greek Pantokrátoras) is Corfu's highest mountain at 917 meters. From up here you have an impressive view over the island and across to Albania.

If you want to climb the mountain on foot in summer, you should know that there are only a few trees that provide shade on the way up and the whole thing is not recommended for everyone. In cooler times of the year it is of course a nice hiking experience.

It is easier by car. A small, fairly passable road leads to the summit and ends there. You should bear in mind that the road has no guard rails and you should be reasonably confident in handling the vehicle. Once you get to the top there are hardly any parking spaces, so you park on the side of the road, which makes the already narrow road one lane. It is therefore highly recommended to turn around at the top before parking. If you don't mind renting a quad bike - this would be a good idea.

The summit with the small monastery is freely accessible. In front of the monastery courtyard there is also a snack bar with some seating.

Translated, the name means "ruler of all", meaning Jesus Christ. The name is based on the "transfiguration of the Lord" or transfiguration, a revelation event on a mountain - appropriately.

The monastery, which dates back to 1347, is accordingly dedicated to Jesus Christ. After being destroyed by the Turks, it was rebuilt in the 17th century with beautiful frescoes and restored at the beginning of this century with EU funding.

Magnificent view

Highlight • Viewpoint

Already on the ascent to the summit, you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding mountain landscape and down to the Mediterranean Sea. On a clear day, you can easily recognize the peaks of the Albanian mainland.

October 9, 2022,🇬🇷Auf das Dach Corfus. Von Spartilas zum Pantokrator.🇬🇷

Today the summit tour to Corfu's highest mountain was on our to-do list. Actually, we first wanted to use the one suggested by the Rother WF, but then made the round clear. At our starting point, a former sports field in Spartilas, there is easily space for 20 or more cars. The hardest part was right at the beginning. The …

September 23, 2024,🇬🇷 Corfu Trail auf den Pantokrator ⛰️

Kalispéra 🙋‍♀️
Today I wanted to climb the highest mountain (906 meters) on Corfu. The journey there was just like my nightmares. The satnav sent me into the desert and in the end I couldn't drive any further because there was a tree on the way 😱 It felt like 100 U-turns ("road" where no two cars can pass) but …

October 10, 2022,🇬🇷Korfu: Von Επίσκεψη auf den Pantokrátor

Today I hike with you to the highest mountain of Corfu, the Pantokrátor. It starts on really rocky paths, through small green valleys that otherwise only belong to the goats and it was totally exhausting at first... but then a more relaxed path came up for us, always the mountain ahead, which then also gave us everything demanded...🙄 Arrived at …

We walked the tour clockwise, then you have the great view relatively at the beginning.

I highly (!) recommend going straight ahead at KM 7.8 and then walking back to the car along the road. If you go our way, you have to be prepared for 2.5 km of very blocked paths, which are scenically beautiful but uncomfortable to walk …

We went the tour today. The first part only goes across the field and offers no view at all, but almost untouched nature. Then it goes on a gravel road around the mountain. Great view all around. But no shade! So be sure to do it in the morning or evening and drink plenty of water.
