Afionas (next door to Arillas) is a beautiful Greek village with breathtaking views over St George and great tavernas - Dionysos at the very top.  Peroulades (Avioltes end of village) too is a beautiful old village leading onto a taverna hanging over the cliff (whose name escapes me - Sunset?).  Agios Gordios is nice for a visit with a really good feel and lovely beach - also Pelekas is wonderful - perched on a hill and has a separate beach area - also just along the road is Glyfada - the Corfiots told me they believed it to be the best beach on the island - but was very busy when we were there in August.  We found wonderful hidden gems all along the North West Coast, especially when we travelled on bikes!  Am sure you will enjoy it all!

Old Perithia is well worth a visit. It's an abandoned hill village which is just coming back to life as the road up to it is now tarmac. A couple of nice tavernas set in the slopes just below Pantokrator, lots of abandoned houses and a good photographic opportunities and the scenery is stunning. It's just so peaceful!

Drive through Acharavi and a few kilometres further on you will see a turn off signposted Perithia. Drive into the new Perithia and Old Perithia is clearly signposted. It's about 8 kilometres from the main road and the road up to it is now pretty good.

Echo the other comments expressed, re Kassiopi, Pelekas, Avliotes etc. but Afionas is really beautiful and a personal favourite.

There is also another little village near to Pantokrator where we stopped at a taverna after being up the mountain on a coach trip but I will have to try and remember its name -it escapes me at the moment. There is also a place called Makrades on the way back from Paleo where you will find various craft shops.

Jules:
Just found the place I was trying to think of on the map and it is called Strinilas. Only a very small village.

Been to all these over the years and it's so nice to try a local (non-toursit) Taverna, the people of Corfu are always so nice!
