Corfu: Porto Timoni Double Bay
After a wonderful first day of exploration near our holiday home on the Greek island of Corfu, we went out today for our first walk. It immediately became a pretty spicy.
We drove our rental car from Astrakeri, in the north of the island, to Afionas on the west coast, in the north. That ride lasted only half an hour, but the roads here are often very narrow and full of wells and bumps. Crowling an oncoming trailer is sometimes a whole adventure. Especially if that oncoming vehicle is a truck.
Afionas is a very beautiful village. Fantastic Greek style with stunning views of the Ionian Sea.
The mountains in the dist belong to Albania.
Afionas is quite high on a small peninsula, so we start a long descent that starts at the church. It's only 3.5 km back and back, but you can count on 2 full hours to make the descent followed by the steep climb back to the village.
