AGIOS GEORGIOS |
|
Approximately 30km from Corfu town and
airport, the delightful resort of AGIOS GEORGIOS (North) is reached via
a winding road through wooded hills which reaches its destination at the very
water's edge.The huge expanse of sandy beach between the cliffs of high rocky
headlands on either side is one of the best in Corfu. Agios Georgios
(north) should be distinguished from another resort of the same name in the
south of the island. Not known for vigorous nightlife, Agios Georgios suits
families with young children, couples and individuals of all ages who enjoy
restful holidays in beautiful countryside, while at the same time providing
endless fun for the kids on the beach or around the few hotel pools.
For a more lively night life it is easy to take a taxi or car the few miles to
Sidari.

The slightly sloping beach of golden sand
provides plenty of space for soaking up the sun in between cooling off dips in
the invitingly clear water. (see photos above)
For your
convenience there are plenty of sun beds and umbrellas at reasonable prices,
while for a bit of exercise there are pedalos, motor boats, sailing boats and
canoes for hire by the hour. Young and old will enjoy the water sports
available during peak holiday times. Try out Paragliding, Water Ski-ing, Wind
Surfing, Jet- Skis, Scuba Diving etc with tuition if required. There
is a good choice of Tavernas and shops at several places along the beachside
road.

The nearby old villages of Pagi and Afionas
provide a pleasant view of traditional Greek life. The narrow streets of
Pagi were built long before any motor vehicles and are a test for
drivers of large vehicles. Many guests of Theo's Hotel walk or take the local
bus to spend an relaxing hour in a Pagi cafe. The beautiful little hill-top
village of Afionas is famed for its wonderful views over Agios Georgios
bay and the Ionian Sea. There are several restaurants with outstanding views
and Theo's Hotel guests are often found in Dionysos taverna recovering from
their walk with a cool drink.
To get the best out of this beautiful area
a Hire Car is suggested. There are several local ones, plus Motor Bike, Scooter
Hire and Mountain bikes. |
