AFIONAS

The views from Afionas are some of the most outstanding in Corfu, and very rarely can one see such superb scenery both to the north and south.
In addition this little village has an unspoilt charm.

Leaving our car in the road before the village square we take our time to enjoy the unspoilt atmosphere and smile at the local people often sitting under the old olive tree.

A short stroll along a narrow road past glorious bouganvilleas soon leads onto the headland to reveal the superb views down and across the turqoise water of the bay of Agios Georgios.

(2002...Regrettably these 2 beautiful shrubs have been removed to facilitate works on the house but hopefully they will be replaced)



DIONYSOS TAVERNA

Once clear of the houses the stunning view over Agios Georgios Bay takes one's breath away.


Here we must find the time to sit on the terrace at Dionysos Taverna
and take in the view over a drink or a meal. The brothers Spiros and Kostas Bardis will make you very welcome particularly if you order their "world famous" beer from the barrel.

The large restaurant with its covered terrace make an excellent venue for meals throughout the day.




The more energetic can pick their way carefully from here along the narrow paths of the headland to the solitude of the remote ancient harbour of Porto Timoni, or even fight on beyond there through the thorn bushes to Point (or Cape) Arilla.

Afionas Sunsets

For spectacular sunsets on a clear evening the Tavernas facing North, such as The Three Brothers, and Panorama, can be recommended for the unforgettable prospect of glowing skies and sea.
