Confusingly there are two holiday resorts in Corfu called Agios
Georgios. One is on the north and the other on the south of the
Island.
St. George - or Agios Georgios is a resort with a choice of excellent beaches,
popular with couples and famillies wanting to avoid the bid crowds and traffic.
Ag. Georgios is on the south west coast, 33 km from Corfu town and Corfu airport.
It is a small resort with no real traditional centre but offering a decent choice
of tavernas and bars, a couple of discos , supermarkets, souvenir shops, watersports
and of course beautiful long and wide sandy beach, well organized an considered
to be one of the best in Corfu – awarded with blue flag – with a
safety shallow for children, Sand dunes and a lake Korission add interest to
the north beach at St. George and a little effort is rewarded with the discovery
of isolated coves for more undistrurbed bathing. There are around 6 miles of
beach in Agios Georgios including the busier south beach and the resort runs
along a parallel road and is bordered by olive groves and cypress trees that
benefit from the winter rains.

You can spent your holidays simply quiet on the beach, but you
can also book many trips right from here. By the boat to the Islands
Paxos and Antipaxos, to the Blue Lagoon, by the coach to Aqualand,
Corfu town or the trip all around the Island. Of ourse that you
can hire some car and go by yourself. Walkers and cyclists could
enjoy excursions into the surrounding countryside and visit some
of the more secluded and pretty Corfu villages as well as other
spetacular beaches. The most beautiful walk is throught the olive
trees to the old typical greek village Argyrades, just 2 km from
Ag. Georgios, where you can sample the simple delights of Corfu
village café life and superb setting: contrasting options
for a holiday in Ag. Georgios.
