Sandy Beaches - Corfu

I was at Jimmy's Taverna in Pagi (near Agios Georgios NW) the other day and he was telling me about the filming of the  James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Apparently the car chase was filmed in and around Pagi so I thought I'd post a link to it on here. Roger Moore's Spanish sounds quite out of place but it's good seeing the Citroen passing Jimmy's bar in the movie.The whole area is well worth a visit incidentally. Agios Gergios NW has a beautiful sandy beach with just enough tavernas and Pagi is beautiful. If you fancy seeing one of the best sunsets on the island go up to Afionas, you'll be glad you did.

If you pick your accommodation carefully, there is no need to tackle any hills (other than a really small incline) when you are in Kassiopi - some of the apartments are up in the hills, but the whole town is virtually level. It is a fantastic place for a holiday, with something for everyone - just enough going on if you want entertainment but many quiet, traditional tavernas if you don't. True, the beach isn't sandy but the water is beautifully clear and no sand to get everywhere!!! Roda is also a nice resort, and totally flat. Whereever you go, enjoy    ps.  some good deals with Thomson to the Elizabeth Apartments in Roda at the moment -  sadly I am now a Kassiopi convert so no good for me!

Hi GIlly. I have been all over the island with Nathan from Corfu for the last two days but now have time to answer you. There are many places you could stay. I would say Skala and Katelios to start. Sandy beaches. good choice of tavernas. If the children want wantersports go to Skala. katelios is quieter. But if you stay in Katelios you can go to Skala by boat or by car or by bus as it is only 6 kms along the coastal raod. The good thing about these resorts is that everything is within walking distance and the teenagers can go off on their own in a safe environment. If you want advice on accommodation let me know.
kefalonia(at)agni.gr  If you find a package holiday you like and want to run it pass me then let me know. You can look on the website www.agni.gr/travel.kefalonia for villas in Katelios. See Ismini, Fedra, Semeli, Aspasia, Konstantina, Alexandra, Melissa. You can google for them as well. For some apartments down by the beach in Katelios see the website www.kefaloniatravleguide.com and click through to accommodation section and then to Katelios.

Correct me if Ime wrong but Kassiopi goes from the port area and goes uphill, and the beaches arnt the best no real sandy ones but some great places to eat some of the best on the island.

[QUOTE=Fizz40] Thank you for your advice. Not been to Acharavi before but went to Kalami 2 years ago and also been to Kassioppi and St Georges Sth over the years. Kalami was definately my favorite place - so relaxing! Hopefully will take a trip there in June but looking forward to seeing Roda too. I'm counting down the weeks [/QUOTE] Hello Fizz40

We have been several times to Haraki on Rhodes

Great small coastal village, traditional food, cosmopolitan visitors, certainly Brits are usually in the minority

Good bus service to Rhodes town  several good excusions and car hire would give you the whole island to explore including some wonderful mountain villages.

Haraki has a mostly sandy beach, just a few patches which are a tad courser and just round the headland from the castle there is a white fine sand beach

Most of the accommodation is self Catering, Olympic go there.  A couple of good supermarkets selling fresh bread etc daily

Most of the accommodation faces the beach

There are 3 'beaches' in Lakka bay itself - but like all of the island mostly bright white stone as opposed to sand

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this Forum and would really appreciate some Help with Holiday Choice..

My girlfriend keeps on at me about researching a holiday for June 2012.

She says she wishes for a Holiday in Greece.

What we are looking for are

-Greece
- 7 or 10 days
- bout £400 each if possible
- somewhere with a nice beaches, sandy only.
- nice restaurants, traditional food, various restaurant as long as there traditional Greek and nothing English food wise.
- it does matter about what the hotel is like, as long as it is comfortable and clean, but we will be out and about most of the time
- and also a holiday where we can explore, stuff to do in the day.

Can anybody tell me somewhere this might be in Greece?

Thanks

Jimmy

Hi Spike. I am based in Kefalonia and if you want cheap accommodation virtually on the beach I would look at Vrahinari region of Kefalonia - fine sandy beach. Studios for 2 persons Vangelis, Dionisis and Remetzo. Book with Agni Travel www.agni.gr/travel/kefalonia.More cheap studios and maisonettes for 4 right by the beach in Katelios at Dreams www.katelios-dreams.com.  The Vrahinari studios are next to a great taverna.  Dreams is next to the Dreams snack bar.  These are both quiet areas.  For more ideas go to the website www.kefaloniatravelguide.com and look through the section on accommodation. Hope this helps.

Lady Grey teabags, bone china mug wrapped with teatowel and sponge/scrubber inside along with small washing up liquid bottle and j cloth (lots of places now provide these though), Yorkshire teabags and Nescafe in the new foil pouches. Wind up torch for power cuts and walks on unlit paths, elastic twisted washing line (no need for pegs), lots of mozzie repellant and plug in, cotton sarong for beach (lightweight and I hate it if I do get to one of the sandy beaches and it all gets in a towel, bar of Vanish.

For a quiet romantic place to spend a honeymoon you will not beat friendly Agios Georgios north. Tucked away in a beautiful sandy bay between high headlands this un-commercialised, rather laid-back resort has only 4 hotels, all small and no tall blocks of apartments.
Apart from the long sandy beach and clear sea the surrounding countryside is great for quiet walking in the olive groves and hills. (http:www.agiosgeorgios.info). Pass your time just relaxing over a drink or delicious meal in the restaurants at the beach or walk to the rustic Fisherman's Cabin and get a water taxi back. Take a memorable boat trip to the islands or Paleokastritsa or be dropped off at a remote beach such as Porto Timoni.

Walk up to the tavernas of Afionas such as the Panorama or Dionysos and enjoy the bird's-eye views over Agios Georgios bay or northwards to Arillas and beyond.  You can take a boat or pedalo to the remote beaches. For honeymooners the list is endless!!

I have a place in Agios Georgios and I can honestly say that for those who like a peaceful holiday next to a beautiful sandy beach with a handful of lovely tavernas overlooking it.. Agios Georgios NW is certainly worth a look.
