Agios Georgios South is known for its beautiful beaches, scenic landscapes, and relaxed atmosphere.
It's quite a spread out village covering around 2.5 kilometres of the coast line with a good selection of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops. You’ll find a lot of the facilities around the waters edge and this means you get to enjoy the sea views with your meal or drinks.
There’s also plenty of other businesses including car hire outlets for those that want to explore the island, supermarkets to stock up on those necessities and a handful of ATMs in case you need some extra cash.
There are two villages called Agios Georgios (Saint George) in Corfu, this one in the south west of the island around 30km from the capital Kerkyra and a bit less to the airport.
Expect transfer times from the airport to be at least 45 minutes but could be a bit more depending on traffic, and how many drop-offs are involved.
The other Agios Georgios is in the north-west of the island and is sometimes known as Agios Georgios Pagon.
There’s a good variety of nightlife in Saint Georges south with bars and restaurants littering the coastal road that runs through the village.
You’ll find bars that stay open late with DJs and party events and even a night club. There’s a karaoke night and Greek dancing nights if you want some extra entertainment too.
If you just want a quiet night in a restaurant and a few drinks then Agios Georgios has you covered there too, there’s tons of options and variety to suit all tastes.
Agios Georgios south beach is found at the southern end of the village and stretches on for what seems like an eternity, it’s great for those that want to find a bit of space to themselves. It also has sun loungers, water sports and much more for those that prefer a more lively day at the beach.
The main downside of Agios Georgios is the fact that it’s a long way from most of the islands other major towns and villages as well as tourist attractions which are largely in the north of the island. Having said that there are a couple of places that are near by, for example the wildlife haven of Lake Korission is just a couple of kilometres away as is the wonderful Halikounas beach where you can try kite surfing.
