Chalikouna Beach
7 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Today we went through the mountains and small mountain villages, which was much fun with our truck 🤣.

It was a wonderful journey and I really love the mountain villages of Corfu with their partly dilapidated charm.

Our goal was the Chalikouna beach, which separates Korission Lagoon from the mediterranean sea.

Korission Lagoon is located near the village of Agios Mattheos. It has a surface area of 427 ha and it drains into the sea through a channel which bisects Chalikouna Beach.

The lagoon was created by the sand dunes that cut the lake's basin off from the sea between 140,000 and 250,000 years ago.

The lagoon and its environs are protected by the Natura 2000 treaty, the protected area includes the nearby coastal areas, an unusual forest of prickly juniper Juniperus phoenicea, which is known as cedar, in addition to many sand dunes which reach heights in excess of 15 metres. The lagoon has over 126 species of birds thus it's a great spot for hikes and nature watching.

The beach is a very peaceful and natural beach during this season and also a great opportunity for a hike and a picnic break.

So if you are around here: give it a try!Leia mais

Hiking around Acharavi
8 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Today I did a little hike in the olive 🫒 groves around Acharavi.

It's just the right time for hiking. It's warm and sunny 🌞 but not too hot yet.

But I've gotten a little too much sun 🤪 next time I'll put my hat 👒 on.

Everything is blooming 🌸💮🏵️and buzzing 🐝🦋🪲 - I could have stopped at every corner to watch the insects 😍.Leia mais

Korfu city
9 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Today we actually wanted to go hiking 🥾 again, but when we stood on the mountains ⛰️ in the rain 🌧️ and only saw clouds ☁️ instead of the sea 🌊, we quickly changed our minds.

So off to Corfu town to explore the city with a rain jacket and umbrella ☔.

The old town is pretty and the people relaxed, but I can't say more about it spontaneously. In short: the appeal of Corfu is not defined by Corfu Town 🤪.Leia mais

Arillas, Afionas & Timoni
10 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today I hiked 🥾 from Arillas via Afionas to the double bay 🏖️ of Timoni.

The hike took about 3.5 hours, overcame 350 meters in altitude and was about 10km long.

I went from Arillas first along the coast 🌊 and then along the edge of the village 🏡 up the mountain ⛰️ to Afionas. This is a quaint mountain village and in the summer 🌞, I'm sure it gets flooded by insta junkies 🤡 with selfie sticks.

Luckily there are no instas in the pre-season 🤪, but the effort with which they renovated the village, gives an idea.

From the village there is an steep path to the twin bays of Timonis and since it rained heavily 🌧️ yesterday, the path was very slippery. That's why I didn't do the last piece, but instead stopped for a Greek coffee in a small, cute panorama café. What a view. ❤️🌊⛰️😍

On the way back I went along the coast through olive groves 🫒🫒🫒 and once again I stood in amazement in front of these old gnarled trees🌳. What whimsical shapes! ❤️❤️❤️Leia mais

From Lákones to Paleokastrítsa
11 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Paleokastrítsa is beautifully situated on the coast and is considered by many Corfiots to be the most beautiful place on earth. However, there is no actual village center there: hotels, houses and taverns are scattered loosely across the grandiose landscape and are often hidden between olive trees and cypresses.

The best view of the bay is from the mountain village of Lákones, also known as the balcony of the Ionian Sea. From here, a footpath takes about 40 minutes down through an olive grove to Paleokastrítsa, while the winding road there is over 6 km long.

I hiked this path today and was very enthusiastic about it - if you are in the area you should definitely walk this route.

Paleokastrítsa is then located directly on a bay. It is further divided into a series of small bays by several rocky peninsulas. Most of the coast is rocky, but in between there are small sandy beaches, many of which can only be reached by boat. Everywhere the lush green reaches right up to the water, in the hinterland the slopes rise several hundred meters high.

In Paleokastrítsa I then sat down in a café right on the beach and enjoyed a frappe.

What a nice day ❤️❤️❤️Leia mais

From Vátos to the beach of Myrtitis
12 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Today I hiked 🥾 from Vátos to the beach of Myrtitissa.

The route initially led over paved roads through the nice mountain village 🏡 Vátos and soon the road went over in gravel roads.

As soon as I had reached the hill ⛰️, an impressive panoramic view of the west coast of Corfu offered itself. Through shady olive groves 🫒, the route finally led to the monastery Myrtiótissa ⛪ and on to the same name beach 🏖️. Since it was a windy day, there were wonderful waves 🌊❤️.

At a glance to the monastery, I met Pappa Daniel 🙏, who made a guided tour through the monastery.

The way back to Vátos ran up along the road, later on a footpath through the olive groves 🫒.

The circular route is about 7 km long, takes about 1-2 hours and overcomes 200 altitude.

When we met after the hike for a short picnic at the truck 🚛, an olive farmer in his rusty car 🚙 held next to us. He said that he had already seen us above and handed us a bottle of olive 🫒 oil over: "From me for you and I wish you a good journey," he said and braised away. ❤️❤️❤️

I love Greeks! 🇬🇷Leia mais

Kanoula Beach
12 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
After today's hike we drove to the beach in Kanoula.

Kanoula beach on the southwest coast of Corfu is a small hidden paradise. On most days its waters have waves.

The relatively inaccessible road to Kanoula beach is another reason that it has not received interventions and tourist infrastructure, access is via a dirt road.

As one reaches it, the view of a kilometre of beautiful sandy beach is simply elating. Best beach for the last night on Corfu. 😍Leia mais

Σαπωνοποιία Πατούνη
13 de abril de 2023, Grécia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Today I'm visiting Corfu city once more and I have to change my mind... it's a nice little town with a nice weekly market and cosy Greek cafes just outside the pedestrian zone - just avoid the afternoon and only go there in pre-season 🤪.

While strolling around, I stumbled over Patounis' Soap Factory.

Patounis' Soap Factory is a family business for making pure traditional soap from locally produced olive products.

Their most valued asset is the ancestral recipes and practice that have been passed on from father to son for five successive generations.

Their premises, preserved with the functioning tools and equipment dating from 1891, constitute a living memory of a unique local tradition. Therefore, in recent years the soap factory has become the subject of academic studies while attracting visitors from the tourist and educational sector. It has been a listed monument of industrial heritage with the Greek Ministry of Culture since 2008.

In 2017 the soap making technique of Patounis' Soap Factory was inscribed on the National Inventory of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece and the Lists which the relevant Convention of UNESCO has set forth.Leia mais
