We drove south-west today, for a walk at Korission Lake. First we parked at the village of Chalikounas, then walked to the beach where we saw some horses having a paddle.
The main part of the walk is on a narrow stretch of sand between the lake and the sea.
The sand bar is just a bit too wide to see both the lake and the sea at the same time.
At the middle of the lake there is an inlet with a foot bridge over it.
We had a look over at the lake to see what birds were there, but only saw a few egrets at this stage.
After the inlet the dunes got wider with more vegetation, so for a large part we couldn't see either the lake or the sea. We did see a tortoise on the path though. This was great because we had also seen a tortoise on our first day on Corfu 14 years ago.
This was the one we saw before.
We walked through the dunes for a while, eventually finding our way to what is supposed to be a flamingo viewpoint. We didn't see any flamingos there though.
We carried on past the end of the lake towards the next village, Agios Georgios. As we approached it the beach was much busier.
We then retraced our steps, this time staying near the beach rather than going through the dunes.
We had a drink at the Tayo beach bar, then found another flamingo viewpoint. This time we were in luck.
Once we got back to the car we took an inland route back to Gouvia, it was very interesting going through all the little villages.
We stopped at Lidl in Corfu town for some shopping on the way home.
After a drink on our terrace we made burgers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes for dinner.
