Agios Georgios (Saint George) North Corfu

some was filmed there but most scenes were shot at Agios Georgios south on the sand dunes- and in Danilia Village (then a flourishing tourist evening out destination masquerading as a Greek village!)

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.

As reported elsewhere on this Forum  the ATM cash machine in the centre of Agros village has sadly now been removed. This is a backward step and it will be missed by many residents and visitors to the area.
The nearest now to Agios Georgios is in Agios Stefanos at the Thomas Bay Hotel.

I hope I will be proved wrong but I doubt there will be an ATM machine in Arillas this summer. The last one was taken away by the bank for economic reasons and personally I cannot see the present economic conditions will convince the bank to repeat its experience. I believe the business owners are currently lobbying the bank to get the ATM returned.
Your nearest one will be over the hill in Agios Stefanos, a 30minute walk. But if you intend hiring a bike or car for a day or so, as many visitors do, it is no trouble to pick your cash up on one of your trips. Besides Ag Stef several of the larger villages in the area have them
Visit the Forum on arillas.com for instructions on walking to Ag Stef, and also for updates on the ATM situation.

We have been visiting Agios Georgios for 18 years and there has been no ATM there at all. Visitors there just adapt.

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!!

That view from the old trail is magnificent and I can sit for ages on the wall staring out over the bay.
In my fitter days I used to jog to Makrades from Agios Georgios once every holiday but now I am afraid it is a car trip to Makrades and walk down to enjoy the view. View from top:-

Nuffstrong, we have a place in Makrades and often walk the old mule trail down to Agios Georgios NW.  The views at the top of the trail looking down over the AG bay and the islands is one of our favourite panoramas on the island.  It is not so much fun walking back up again!

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.

Really great to have the Corfu Travel Guide Forums back again !! They are so useful for people wishing to visit Corfu for the 1st time including those who have chosen to visit Agios Georgios, whether for the 1st time or 20th.
This beautiful resort is known by several names all of which mean 'St.George'. To distinguish it from a similarly named resort in the south of the island it has been known as 'Agios Georgios north' or maybe more correctly (but less well-known by visitors) 'Agios Georgios Pagon (or Pagi) after the name of the nearby village of Pagi. It is often referred to locally as 'San George'.
