Agios Georgios Pagon, that has taken its name because of its chilly waters, is located on the west side of Corfu, just above Paleokastritsa. The natural bay is surrounded by cypress trees and olive groves, with a long stretch of sandy beach. The beach is well organized with plenty of taverns, restaurants and bars. The surrounding cliffs and historic villages are ideal destinations for hiking.
