Corfu's Prettiest Mountain Village: Afionas

Afionas Village is a charming settlement located on the northwest side of Corfu, known for its elevated position. This village sits on a hilltop, offering expansive views of the Ionian Sea and the nearby Diapontia Islands. Its traditional character is preserved through narrow, winding alleys and old stone houses, often adorned with bright colors and flowers. The village's strategic location has been important throughout history, once serving as a lookout point to protect against invaders and pirates. Today, this high vantage point makes Afionas particularly famous for its breathtaking sunsets, which can be observed over the sea. Several tavernas and cafes in the village are positioned to take full advantage of these scenic views. The village maintains a peaceful atmosphere, making it a desirable location for those seeking a tranquil experience away from more crowded tourist areas. It offers a blend of natural beauty, historical interest, and local hospitality. #greekislandhopping
