Itinerary description
This nice little tour takes you to some not-so-touristy places in Corfu's northwest.
Starting near Logas beach, follow the small paved road to the mountain village of Avliotes. I recommend having a greek coffee at the small shop vis-à-vis the mini market. Check out the village church, the graveyard has a spectacular view.
At the crossing in Ag. Pelagia, leave the paved road for the forest track. It'll take you to Agios Stefanos and from there to a nice trail to Kap Ketali. Watch out for hikers on the downhill track. If you're ready for a swim, check out Arillas beach. The southern part is for textile lovers, the northern part is a nude beach.
If you are hungry after all the swimming and sunbathing, there are some nice fish tavernas at the beach village (check out TripAdvisor).
The tour will then lead you away from the coast, following secondary roads and forest paths to the mountain monastery of the Theotokos Ypsili. The tour ends with a nice downhill on forest roads, taking you back to your starting point.
