For those looking to escape the August heat, the Strinylas Village Festival on August 6th is the perfect destination. Located high on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, Strinylas is one of Corfu’s highest villages and is famous for its unique microclimate and exceptional local wine.

The Strinylas Panigiri is a rustic, authentic affair. The village square, shaded by a massive ancient plane tree, becomes a dance floor for locals and visitors. The air is filled with the aroma of slow-roasted meats, and the local “Partner-First” tavernas serve the village’s renowned red wine. It is a high-energy, traditional celebration in a stunning alpine-like setting.
