PAGI

An unusual feature is the junction in the village centre where there is a drop of about 3 metres from one road to the other.
James Bond corner
These streets were used in a car chase sequence in the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only" featuring Roger Moore.
The cars took the lower road but were detained (understandably) by meeting the local bus just here beneath the high wall.
Nervous British tourists unaccustomed to left-hand drive cars dread meeting a lorry or bus on this corner, knowing they will have to reverse back towards that unprotected drop!

Pagi is a place to pause, take your time and absorb the local atmosphere by stopping off for refreshment at one of the small cafes in the village centre.
The 2 usually visited by walkers are Spiros Bar (Jimmy's) and Romeos Cafe Bar opposite. Try them both for daytime or evening light refreshments.

A lovely gift shop called "O Topos Mou" ("The Village") sells some delightful traditional Corfiot gifts of local pottery, woven goods, towels, table linen etc and is well worth a visit. You will find it just away from the village centre near the junction with the road to Prinillas.

Well worth the effort is a trip by any means (but preferably by car, scooter, bike or taxi) up the hill through Prinillas and on up the good tarmac road to the top of the hill.
The views slowly improve as you climb.

The web page cannot do justice to the immense panoramic view revealed
at the top of the hill.
Here the heat haze hides the distant mountains of Albania.
