The holy church of Saint Spyridion in the deserted village of Old (Palia) Perithia on the Greek island of Corfu. This historic 'Heritage Protected' village is in 'A Designated Area of Natural Beauty', situated on the attractive north east corner of the island, and just below Mount Pantokrator (The Almighty). It is the oldest example of the original mountain villages of Corfu. Records date back to the mid 14th century, although it is considered to have been inhabited many centuries before. Currently Old Perithia is a popular tourist destination, with many tavernas operating there during the season.
