One of the most beautiful beaches on the island is located on the west coast of Corfu near the village of Afionas.

At first glance, the path seems quite easy, but after a few steps you will find that you really can't get to the beach that easily. Plus, there are no snack shops.

Timoni beach is surrounded by the sea on two sides, it is actually a narrow strip of land connecting the main island with a small peninsula, so you can swim on both sides.

How to get there

The best option is to take a rental car to the village of Afionas, you can drive all the way to the viewpoint on the sea where you can watch the sunsets. From there, there is a steep path about 1.5 km down to the sea.
