Situated on the south west coast of the island, Agios Georgios (St George) is approximately 35kms from Corfu Town.
Agios Georgios still retains much of it's charm and also boasts three wonderful sandy beaches, St George beach, Issos beach and Halikounas beach. Halikounas, the longest of the three is pure sand stretching for over a mile and attracts tourists and locals from all over Corfu. Stretching out a little further across the sand dunes and desert like features is Lake Korission, covering an expanse of 1500 acres. The lake or lagoon here is a nature reserve and home to many rare bird species - ideal for walking and being close to nature as well as being a turtle-nesting area. This is truly a magical spot where sea and sand harmonise. As the day draws to a close and the beaches begin to empty, Agios Gorgios (St George) becomes a paradise for those who enjoy tranquillity and the chance to relax in peaceful surroundings. Join the locals in the tavernas, sample the local wine and delicious cuisine whilst watching the sunset on the horizon. Simply divine!

Locals and most maps of the Island will refer to the resort of St George as Agios Georgios which is the Greek translation.
The golden sand stretches as far as the eye can see and for those who want to do more than laze in the sun, watersports are available. Agios Georgios south has two long stretches of golden sand. One is backed by sandstone cliffs, the other with dunes. Some watersports are available on these beaches. It is perfect for families and couples looking to spend happy, lazy days in the sun on the sands. There’s a good selection of tavernas and bars dotted along the road as well as supermarkets and gift shops. Agios Georgios is an ideal base for those who like walking and cycling. A short walk through the olive groves takes you to the quaint 10th century local village of Argyrades where life goes on as it has been for years.
