Confusingly there are two holiday resorts in Corfu called Aghios Georgios. One is in the north of Corfu and the other in the south. To futher complicate matters Aghios Georgios (South) is also known as Saint George. It is another Corfu resort with a choice of excellent beaches, popular with couples and families wanting to avoid the big crowds and traffic.
Situeted on the south west coast, 30 km south of Corfu Town and the airport (Transfer time: Approx 40 minutes). Agios Georgios is a summer holiday resort offering a decent choice of tavernas and bars, discos and many kind of shops like supermarkets, souvenir shops and everything else you can need. uring the night, after a good meal in a traditional Corfu restaurant, you can relax drinking a cocktail choosing one of the several pubs.
The resort has two main beaches reached by quiet country lanes. Both beaches are wide, have easy-on-the-feet sand and are safely shallow for children. Sand dunes and a lake add interest to the north beach at Agios Georgios and a little effort is rewarded with the discovery of isolated coves for more undisturbed bathing. There are around 6 miles of 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. One of the assassination scenes of J. Bond film “For your eyes only” was filmed there. Even at the height of the tourist season, you can be sure of finding a secluded spot to yourself. Agios Georgios offers a variety of hotels, restaurants and bars, and sea sports of all kinds
