about Agios Georgios north, Corfu

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.

Cool place on a hot day

The village centre is a clean and brightly coloured place.

Here also is the old Church with its lovely Belltower

The narrow streets lead to quiet corners

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. (Unfortunately the 2 beautiful shrubs in the photographs below have now been removed to enable the house to be modernised )

Ahead of you is the entrance to the easy going and friendly Dionysos Taverna with its fantastic views, one of those "must go" places in this area. (see link below)

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.
