Afionas, Kerkyra, Mountain village in northwest Corfu, Greece

Located on a 133-meter-high cliff peninsula, Afionas features stone-paved streets and houses painted in bright colors against the Mediterranean landscape.

Archaeological excavations in the area uncovered a Neolithic settlement dating back to the second millennium BC, with artifacts displayed in the Corfu Archaeological Museum.

The Saint John Labataris Church, constructed in 1636, stands as the central religious building of the village and celebrates its feast day on June 24.

Access to the renowned Porto Timoni twin beaches requires a 30-minute walk through narrow paths starting from the village's central square.

The village overlooks two distinct bays: one with turquoise waters called Limni and another with darker waters, separated by a narrow strip of land.
