St. George (South) (33 km from Corfu Town)

St. George, (Agios Georgios) is one of the most popular resorts in the South of Corfu and therefore has much to offer the tourists who visit every year.

The long sandy beach stretches from the top of the resort to the very bottom.  Watersports include windsurfing, a diving centre and boat day tours.  The beach, considered to be one of the best on Corfu, has been awarded a Blue Flag and is well organized with sunbeds and umbrellas for daily hire.  Shops and tavernas for ice cream, drinks and lunch are close to the beach.

The resort appeals to all visitors and accommodation ranges from villas, studios and apartments to hotels and an all inclusive complex.  There are plenty of restaurants and tavernas, supermarkets and bars, some offering live entertainment, throughout the resorts that cater for all tastes and budgets.

St. George has something for everyone; the beach will appeal to sun worshippers and families, the resort is relatively flat making it popular with seniors.  Walkers and nature lovers will enjoy exploring the surrounding countryside; Lake Korission is very close by.  A regular bus service connects the village to Corfu Town and beyond.  Car hire is not necessary but a day exploring the island is always worthwhile.
