Agios Georgios Pagon is another coastal settlement on the island of Corfu, a spectacularly beautiful bay that forms a huge horseshoe shape, framed by small hotels, bars and tavernas along a unique, golden, sandy beach.
It is a quiet tourist destination preferred by families and people looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. About 35 km from the city of Corfu, where everything moves slower than usual, it is attractive to those who want tranquility. It is an organized tourist resort as it provides all the amenities and has the entire, necessary tourist infrastructure both on the beach and in the provision of accommodation and dining options, however, it remains a friendly and traditional village.
The name of Agios Georgios Pagon
comes from the homonymous 18th Century church of Agios Georgios that exists in the area, and Pagon is used as it is located near the village of Pagoi. The Pagon is therefore used to differentiate between the St George beaches! It is not to be confused with another beautiful coastal area, that of Agios Georgios Argyradon, which is located south.
The beach at Agios Georgios Pagon
is one of the most beautiful on the island and around it settlement began to develop after 1975. It is one of the largest and quietest beaches on Corfu.
Families with children prefer the southern part of the bay where the waters are very shallow, unlike the northern part where they deepen abruptly. Agios Georgios Pagon has a Blue Flag and offers umbrellas and sunbeds for rent. For those who want to combine their quiet vacation with fun water sports, a wide variety of them are available, from scuba diving (lessons available) to sailing, kayaking, paddling, windsurfing, water skiing, jet skiing and fly skiing. It is also possible to rent a boat for a visit to neighbouring spectacular, Porto Timoni Beach, a beautiful double beach below the village of Afionas, or to visit the small Diapontia islands of Othoni, Mathraki and Ereikousa in close proximity.
