Our next view will be a photo stop in Lakones Village, known as “The Balcony of the Gods“. This is a privileged spot from where the most beautiful sights can be reached, and they say that even the Italian coast can be seen from here on clear days. 
 
3. Afionas Village

Afionas is one of the oldest villages on the island, on the North West coast of Corfu. Once here, you will have time for strolling around its small roads or kantounia, where ancient stone houses, full of colours and flowers, create labyrinths with small local taverns and cafes, churches, balconies, and even some old Venetian palaces, adapted and used nowadays for housing.

If you walk up the roads you will reach an open area with benches on a natural balcony. From here you will admire the magnificent sunset, with the Diapontia Islands in the distance and the gorgeous aroma of jasmine and bougainvillaea all around.

This is a must-do tour for anyone who loves landscapes, traditional beauty, Corfiot villages, and sunsets, and wants to experience local life during their Corfu holidays!
