Located on the northwestern part of the island, near the small traditional village of Afionas, the beach of Porto Timoni in Corfu consists of two different but equally beautiful beaches separated by a strip of land, resulting in a unique formation that resembles a tombolo beach.
Both shores are covered with shingles and pebbles and surrounded by lush greenery, boasting crystal-clear waters in the shades of turquoise and teal! Furthermore, its seabed is ideal for snorkeling purposes, while the nearby sea cave is also worth visiting! The beaches have different water temperatures, so you may choose where to swim depending on your preferences
The two beaches are secluded and can only be reached via a path or by boat. These off-the-beaten-track seashores are unorganized, hosting no facilities, and they are sparsely visited, mostly due to their remote location. Plus, the views over Porto Timoni are stunning at any time of the day, and a visit during the afternoon will guarantee you a worthwhile view of the sunset.
How to get to Porto Timoni
Timoni beach can be reached on foot. There are two paths that can take you there, one from the top of Afionas village and one from its center. You can leave your car in the village. The distance is about 1 km and the path is quite steep. It will take approximately 30 minutes.
An alternative way of reaching Timoni is by boat taxi from Agios Georgios.
If you decide to get there on foot, it is necessary to have shoes that are suitable for hiking. As you walk down to the beach, you will also get to see the ruins of a medieval fortress.
