Porto Timoni
Porto Timoni is a double beach near Afionas village on the west coast of Corfu. Known for its stunning scenery, including its turquoise sea and towering green hills, it features two bays facing Agios Georgios and Mathraki island. The beach can be accessed by foot from Afionas village or by boat from surrounding resorts.
Visitors should come prepared with sturdy footwear as the paths to the beach are narrow and rocky. No amenities are available, so bring your own food, water, and sun protection. The area also includes the cape of Akra Arilla with Neolithic period excavations and another rocky beach. The ascent back to the village can be challenging during the hot hours without any shade.
