Agios Georgios - an introduction to the village in NW Corfu

View of the horseshoe-shaped bay of Agios Georgios, looking due North, taken from the "donkey path" scaling the SE escarpment. Angelos Apartments are situated approximately in the middle of the picture where the beach runs out and the NW cliff takes over. The village of Afionas can be seen on top of the hill (left of centre). The NW promontory ends at Porto Timoni/Akroteri Arillas

Agios Georgios (AG) is situated in Northwest Corfu (see map) and consists of three separate villages which occupy the sandy beach along the bottom of the U of a remarkable and large horseshoe-shaped bay. Both arms of the bay have high cliffs on either side.

Each part of AG is associated with different villages which are inland from the resort. The most prominent of these inland villages is Pagi which administers the Northern/central part of AG where most of the hotels and tavernas are situated. The name of AG Pagon is commonly used to name the whole resort, something which is important to know, as rather confusingly there is another AG in the south of the island! The part of AG where Angelos is situated is administered by Afionas and is the least developed and less busy than the other parts.
