The small village of Agios Georgios is located around 35 kilometers to the northwest of Corfu town. Even though a common day-trip spot by all Corfu visitors, a stay in Agios Georgios gives you more time to appreciate this intimate pocket of Greece.

The village is more like a workaholic’s detox than anything else. The place is easy going and rarely will you find people in a hurry to get anywhere. 

Unlike most of Greece, the village has more of natural pathways and trekking places than any relevant historic events. However, the beaches are probably one of the best around Greece and it is quiet common to see beach-side parties which go late into the night. During the day, the beaches offer a range of activities from surfing, adventure water games, wind-surfing and snorkeling. The bars which line the beaches are a common hangout places and a perfect way to watch the sun go down. 

With so much going on all year round, the tourism in Agios Georgios has still not touched it rustic charm, virgin beauty and a view of the planet like none other!
