Walking Directions
Walk
in to the centre of the village by the bus stop
and GB's supermarket and bear right up the hill
to Kato Garouna/Corfu, in about a mile or so, a
road bears off to the right signposted Chris's
Place/Pendati. Walk past this and continue
up the hill, past the cemetery on the left and
around the two hairpin bends that take you in to
the village. You will see a pizza
restaurant on your left. Continue on the
main road in to the village until you reach a T
junction and the only "pub" in the village
facing you. The road to the right is a
blind alley, your route is to the left. If
you haven't got any provisions with you, we
recommend that you stock up here, the rest of
the walk is completely in the countryside!
Continue bearing left around the bend and you
will see a road going up to your right.
Cross the road and take the road on the right
and just keep going! The road winds its
way upwards and continues straight up to the
viewpoint. From the side you have walked
up the view is of southern Corfu, northern Corfu
and Corfu Town and beyond to the Greek mainland
and Albania. Eventually the road takes you
to the very top and you go through the gap and
see the spectacular view of Agios Gordios and
the north western coastline. If you look
behind you, you will see the wind sock the para-gliders
use before they jump!
Return to Agios Gordios the way you came up -
and its ALL downhill!!
