Tucked away in the wild landscape of northeast Corfu, Loutses is a small, traditional stone village that serves as a gateway to some of the island’s most fascinating sites. Situated on the foothills of Mount Pantokrator, this quiet hamlet is the last pocket of habitation before the road ascends to Old Perithia. Loutses is an authentic outpost for adventurers, hikers, and those seeking the peace of Corfu’s mountainous interior, defined by its dramatic surroundings, ancient olive groves, and a remarkable cave system.

⭐ Don’t Miss The Entrance to the Cave |
📍 Plan Your Day Combine with Old Perithia |
Loutses is in the northeast, approximately 43 km from Corfu Town. The drive takes over an hour and involves mountain roads.
The entrance to the cave is impressive and can be viewed safely from the path. However, the cave descends vertically and is very deep. **Do not attempt to enter the cave** unless you are a professional caver with the correct safety equipment.
Loutses is very small. The main ‘activity’ is to soak up the authentic atmosphere, see the old stone houses, and perhaps have a coffee at the local kafenion if it’s open. It is primarily a base for exploring the surrounding area.
It is a very short drive. The signposted turn-off for Old Perithia is right in Loutses village, and the final part of the drive from there takes only about 5-10 minutes.
