Spartilas – Pantokratoras circular loop

de fr

A magnificent route with incredible views. On the way there, with our heads in the clouds on the Corfu Trail, we didn’t see much, but on the way back via the Corfu Path, we avoided retracing our steps. On the way back, we passed through olive groves with a breathtaking view of Corfu Bay.

The path is very well signposted; however, on the way back, when you leave the main track to head downhill, do take care, as this section is very little used, the vegetation is dense (although the red and white markings are still fairly clear) and prickly. It’s better to wear trousers rather than shorts to avoid scratches (not dangerous, but annoying).
Another point: the route is 14 km long and takes 5 hours 15 minutes (including a coffee break at the top of Pantocrator and a visit to the monastery).
Otherwise, it’s a brilliant walk. We’d highly recommend it.

Climbing to the highest peak on the island of Corfu is well worth the effort, especially in good weather, as it offers a 360° view of the entire island. At the top of Pantokrator is a pretty monastery that is open to visitors. The climb takes you through different types of landscape.
