Agios Markos is one of the oldest villages on Corfu. It has two churches: Agios Merkourios (1075), which is today located on private land, and the Church of Christ the Pantocrator (1577) in the center of the village.^[2] Agios Markos was an important settlement during Venetian rule (1386 to 1797). ^[3]

In 1962, a landslide severely damaged the village and forced residents to move to the plain of Ipsos, where a new village called Kato (Lower) or Neos (New) Agios Markos was constructed for them.^[4] Agios Markos was declared a traditional settlement in 1978^[5] and a historical monument in 1996.^[6] Since the 1980s, locals have been gradually restoring the village houses to their previous splendor.
