Porto Timoni/Agios Georgios Beach - Corfu Island
Porto Timoni
Located on Northwest of Corfu Island, double beach near Afionas village. Afionas is a small village of around 300 residents and altitude around 300m. If you are going there by car, there are few things to think about. First, are you going there in the middle of the season, if yes than is the car yours or rented, and are you comfortable with some parts of tight parts of the road. We were there at the end of the season, and not that many people were there and even then i was lucky to find a parking place that was not that far from where i wanted to go. Mid season i think it is hell to park. I seen a bus station, so there is a bus going there for sure.
From what i seen, there are 2 ways to get to Porto Timoni beach. One is by boats from the nearby resorts, second is through the Afionas village. Path starts from the top of the village, near a cafe called Anemos. The path is aprox 1km long, and you need 30-40 minutes to get to the beach. Path is narrow, rocks, with bushes. Don't touch cactuses, they look harmless but have shit ton of small thorns that you don't see and you will have a bad time. Snickers would be better than flip flops.
Somewhere half of the way, the yellow building on the hill is that cafe where the path starts.
Few go pro shots so you get the feeling of how the path looks like. Smudges on photos are from rain. It was on and off for the whole day.
Really great view, interesting to see, not sure would anyone stay there and go regularly on that beach.
View from the path to the Agios Georgios Beach.
Agios Georgios Beach
Agios Georgios Pagi (North) or San George looks like quiet resort in a big bay. The beach is 4-5 km of sand. Looks beautiful, and is probably a great place for family holiday. There is decent number of restaurants, and if you look at the photo taken from the hill, almost all houses (apartments) are literally on the beach. We were there in the end of September and the day was windy and a bit rainy so you can see, a lot of space on the beach.
That house on the hill is a start point for Porto Timoni beach.
While uploading, i thought to my self, it would be great to go To the beach :)
