What is "avliotes"

Avliotes (Greek: Αυλιώτες) is a mountainous settlement lying at the northwest side of Corfu, Greece, 40 km from Corfu Town. It is a community of the municipal unit of Esperies, with a population of 1276 according to the census of 2011. It is set 120m above sea level, against a background of green hills. The narrow main street can be a challenge for unwary or first time visitors but worth exploring - for those of a nervous disposition there is an almost complete "bypass" - this summer (2014) there was just a small section that remained un-tarmaced - which allows onward travel to Sidari and places west.
