Lying tucked away several miles down a twisty road and 30 km from Corfu town, the little resort of Agios Georgios (North), or San George as some locals call it, is a haven for lovers of a quiet restful holiday. So far the demands of the tourist trade have not spoiled the natural beauty of this delightful bay. It is a secluded resort, off the beaten track, with a broad 1¼-mile beach set between spectacular headlands clad in olive and cypress trees. There is little in the way of village life or authentic local feel here, although there is still some evidence of grape production  (the area's original industry before tourism took over).

In winter the population rests at under 100 people, but it can swell by up to 10 times this number in the height of summer. The resort lines the length of the beach, with a tiny straggle of buildings inland at the S end by the church.

There is no real centre, as development has been haphazard, and certain areas and buildings are in a state of disrepair. On the plus side, the area has not (yet) been developed to the point of bursting and there is still an element of natural rural charm, as opposed to polished tourist perfection.

Locality:

The resort is situated on N end of the W coast, 24 mls NW of Corfu Town and airport (6 mls South West of Sidari). It is positioned between two headlands, built around a horseshoe-shaped bay.
