Porto Timoni is worth the walk, and Afionas is worth the drive. The village is a few whitewashed houses and tavernas on a ridge. The path leads from the edge of the village across open hillside to a viewpoint above two bays, with a small neck of land between them.

The walk
- Park in or near the village. There is limited space; do not block local lanes.
- Follow the signed path. It is a rough track, steep in places, and takes about 20 to 30 minutes down.
- At the bottom you reach the viewpoint and a descent to the pebble bays. Swim only in calm weather.
- Climb back up. Allow longer in the heat.
Bring water and shoes with grip. There is no shade and no shop at the bay. Do not go in extreme heat or high winds.
