Air Conditioning:
Wall-mounted Air conditioning units are fitted in all rooms and may be used
subject to an administrative charge. Changing Money: We
are happy to change money to and from Euros for our guests at most favourable
rates. Safety Deposit Boxes : These are available if
required. Internet Access: If you MUST check your
emails there is an Internet cafe at the beach. Nearest
Chemist: Agros village is 10 minutes by car. Nearest
Doctor: 600 metres, in the centre of Agios Georgios. Nearest Hospital: A small modern Medical Centre in Agros
village, but the main hospital is in Corfu town. Newspapers: Newspapers in several languages can be bought
in the shops near the beach. Water Quality: The water
is considered safe but most English visitors drink bottled water available
everywhere. Weather: Corfu has its share of showers,
some heavy, particularly in early and late season, but the main holiday weeks
are usually very dry and hot. Great care must be taken to protect against the
sun's rays particularly on the beach where there is often a cooling breeze to
trap the unwary sun bather. Local Bus Service: One per
day during the summer to Corfu town at very cheap fares for an interesting
non-guided excursion. -- 10.15 a.m. daily (not Sundays) --return leaves the
town at 4.30 p.m.
Walking: There are
some lovely walks around Agios Georgios to meet the requirements of both keen
walkers and pleasure strollers. These range from walks in the quiet olive
groves and small cultivated fields to longer ones to the headlands overlooking
the bay. An excellent booklet by Lance Chilton with detailed map is usually on
sale at reception. In addition for detailed descriptions of some local walks
click here(opens another window).
CAR HIRE
We can easily arrange car hire for you
with reliable local companies at the most reasonable rates possible. (It is
usually recommended on Corfu internet forums by regular travellers to book
locally on arrival for the best prices rather than before
travelling.)
Just ask Theo a couple of days before it is
needed.Your car will be delivered to the hotel and collected when your hire
period has finished.
MOTOR BIKE HIRE
There are 2 places to hire Motor Bikes,
scooters and quad bikes within a few minutes walk.
MOUNTAIN BIKES
Mountain bikes can be hired on the beach
road in the middle of the resort.
HOTEL INFORMATION
For most of the
season all rooms are taken by Thomsons and the Thomsons' brochure sets out the
Terms and Conditions including "What is included" in their holidays.
Breakfasts We would just remind
guests that the basis of the booking from Thomsons brochure is B&B which as
stated in the Thomson Brochure is Continental Breakfast only (Greek
style). Our breakfasts may be Buffet style. It should be noted that various
forms of Cooked Breakfasts can be purchased reasonably (ask for
menu).
BOOKING
Booking arrangements
2008 Every year we welcome back many of our previous
guests, some returning many times, so if you are still deciding where to go for
a holiday contact your Travel Agent now.
For most of the season
all rooms are taken by Thomsons and bookings for those weeks (see
below)must therefore be made through that Company. We are
now in their "Small and Friendly" brochure.
However we may be taking
direct bookings via telephone or email for
the 1st 2 weeks in May and the last 2 weeks in October (only). This will
enable guests who wish to be independant of Tour Operators to take advantage of
the cheap flights which are often available at these quieter times. Taxis
transfers from the airport can be arranged.
