491 00, Thinali
Been here?
Isolated wild spot on the heights with magnificent views over Corfu, Albania and the south coast. The final 2.7km follows a rocky, bumpy track, and finding a level parking area may require going farther. A hike to Pantokrator starts here and forms a fairly well-marked loop of about 9km. Nights are extremely quiet.

Well-isolated place in the hills of the island. We parked a little farther away to find a flat spot. The view of Corfu town is magnificent, with a splendid starry sky. Starting point for hiking to the island’s highest summit.
Beautiful pitch with a great view. You can hike directly to the “summit” from there. In my opinion, if you follow the path for another 10–15 minutes, there are even nicer pitches, as you get above the tree and shrub line and have a slightly wider panoramic view. Warning ⚠️ Tree-pruning work is currently underway and there is a lot of brush on the path that can scratch the paintwork!
A beautiful reward at the end of 2.7 km of very rocky road. The view is sublime and the night extremely quiet, with a view of the lights of Kerkyra, which is also very nice. A spot just as we love them!
Indeed, the view is breathtaking; it is truly extraordinary. I had tears in my eyes when I arrived. A magnificent, calm and peaceful place. I am here in the middle of summer and it is very, very hot, but there is a pleasant breeze. However, the road to get there is disastrous and very long—about 3 km—and extremely rocky.
As described before, the road is very bumpy but definitely not a hard drive. Took about 30 min to drive the 2.7 km while talking it really slow. Sadly on the morning that we woke up there it was raining, but the view was still really good.
The view is truly breathtaking. A great place to escape the hustle and bustle of Corfu. The last 2.7 km are rocky but easily manageable even with a non-4WD T3! On the road up to the transmission mast there is a meadow with a little more shade. I spent 2 nights here.
