Is it easy to park at Porto Timoni?

Porto Timoni beach guide

Porto Timoni is two small coves back to back on a narrow neck of land below the village of Afionas, on the northwest coast. Because the bays face different ways, the water in one is often a little cooler or choppier than in the other, and you can pick whichever is calmer that day.

There is no road down. The footpath from Afionas is roughly 1 km and takes 20–40 minutes, steep and stony in places, so wear proper shoes rather than flip-flops. A longer loop passes a viewpoint above both bays. The easier option is a water taxi or a hired boat from Agios Georgios Pagon, the long beach just south of the headland.

There's nothing on the beach: no bar, toilets or sunbeds, and very little shade. Bring water, food and sun protection. Park in Afionas (there's a paid car park and some street parking, which fills early) and try to arrive before 10:00 in summer.
