Agios Gordios Corfu

One more addition for you to check out on the west coast. We all have our own favorite locations and love to promote them. The west coast has mainly sandy beaches but what they all share is fantastic sunsets.

Hi there!!!
There have been a few changes since you were last in Agios Gordios. New shops-new faces...but always as beautifulllllll!!!
The ATM is still there but there is a second one now next to super market "Spiros" so do not worry, you won't run out of money!!!
Hope you enjoy your stay and make some new good memories!!!

Cheers

At first I thought you were talking about Agios Georgios beach, which is achievable in a day, though a taxi back would be nice.

The route South you're talking about is over a dozen miles (as the crow flies) across a steep landscape.  There's something called the 'Corfu Trail' but you're expected to tackle it over several days.  Round from Paleo to Liapedes, you just follow the road out and follow the roadsigns.  It's about equivalent in effort to your trip up to the Angelokastro.  But it's far easier to swim across from the Acapulco bar on the edge of Paleo.  I think there's a route over the rocks there if you'd rather cut short the longer road route.

But Pelekas and Agios Gordios?  That's at least half an hour if not more by car.  On foot, getting on for 15-20 miles allowing for the winding routes and steep climbs.  It'd be a tough route for an overnight competitive hike.  By day, in the summer, it'd be suicidal.  But if you're looking for a way of thinning out applicants for the Marines or something, be my guest...

Seriously though, get a good map with terrain marked on it, do some more research, and try not to be too ambitious.

View Topic: Beach Walk Paleo To Liapades And On To Pelekas.

Where about's does the walk start from Paleo beach to Liapades and how long a walk please?
Also did read that you can walk from Liapades to Pelekas and even carry on to Agios Gordios.
Any info on this would be appreciated, is all this possible within a day. Did a lot of walking last year and looking forward to some more walks that I have not done.
Did the Paleo to Lakones and then up to Krini and on the road all the way up to the castle and back to Paleo.

Our first holiday to Greece was on Zante but we stayed around the next bay to Laganas... real sin bin!  We hated that place and then we did a Beach BBQ trip and at the end of the evening we were deposited in Kalamaki in a bar where the girls were dancing on the bar... not a good place for kids!  All in all we were disappointed as it was too lively, we just wandered around the gift shops until we got collected by the coach... bit of an eye opener for our first Greek holiday.  Now we prefer somewhere much quieter like Arillas or Agios Gordios or St. George North in Corfu.

Hi Dean,

I would head south and have lunch at Boukari before going onto Petriti for the evening (a diversion up to Chlomos for a drink in one of the most beautiful villages with stunning views might be a good idea. Stay 2 nights in Petriti and from there you can explore the fantastic beach of the south west coast and the wetlands area at Lefkimi.

How about the other side of the island, how about Agios Gordios. It is not to busy but has all you may include a sandy beach for the children. Here is a link to give you a tour of the resort.

Hi Chrissann,
View Topic: Villa Mary

If I were to go back I would stay at the Sea Breeze apartments, we ate here a few times this year (my first visit to Ag.G) and they are stunning apartments right on the beach, but nowhere near as far along the beach as the Aghios Gordios Hotel. You would still have to walk the boardwalk along the beach for a couple of hundred yards or so, but I am guessing there would be a way out at the back which would lead to the main street, without the hill climb involved in the Ag G hotel.
View Topic: Agios Gordios Hotel

Its a bit of a walk down the road to get to the centre of AG or the other way is down a number of steps to the beach then along a wooden walkway so maybe not the best location if you are not too mobile, brilliant sunsets though.

Yes there are 3 St Georges as you say Elliemay.  We stayed in Agios Gordios SW and I'd say it's also slightly SW of Corfu town.

Agios Gordios is like the one in the middle so to speak. It lies  broadly South West of Corfu Town and is the subject of this particular Forum. 

Thanks for the replies about Robin's Nest. I thought the lady hailed from Chicago but because it's two years since I've been there and I think I may have had a couple of drinks before I left the premises my recall was somewhat hazy!!

ROGER RAYMOND you are probably right but I'm not travelling alone this time so my guess is that my Fiancée and I will try Madison's out as well. We do love a cocktail.

Shirley that's a lovely report on your holiday in Agios Gordios and it's good to hear that Stevens is as great as ever. I'm there again next Month so thanks for your tips on eating and drinking places. Is Madison Garden the place run by an American lady and stays open as long as someone is drinking?

Hi Razaker,
View Topic: Just Back On Tuesday!

Have been to Agios Gordios in late September - early October for the last 5 years.  All tavernas, shops and bars should be open for you.  Can't compare the village with Kalami but we love it there.  Have only heard good of Stevens on the Hill.  Happy holiday.
View Topic: Arriving 15th Sept - Will Everywhere Still Be Open

I know Elizajay that you've not long spent a few pleasant days in in Agios Gordios and you must have been a few places on Corfu over the years.

I would think Barbati might meet the criteria you list or another thought would be Agios Stephanos (NW). That will supply all you need plus plenty of walking options and magnificent sunsets from either the beach or up the hill at The Romanza Hotel.

Happy choosing!

David

Oh don't let it put you off. We have been going to Greek islands for years and never had a problem until Agios Gordios in September. Been to Agios Gordios in July and didn't see a single one.

When in Agios Gordios I always visit Pentati, it is an unspoilt village. Rather than stopping for a drink at Chris's Place, I tend to use Angelas in the village. It is a typical village cafe/bar and has a great view from it's roof garden. You are able to get snacks there although there is no menu.

Just read on a Facebook Forum on one of the popular bars in Agios Gordios that the Municipality of Corfu are clamping down on music bars and putting a curfew of 11.30 p.m. on outside music and are even closing some bars down.

Hello Laska123. Apparently Alpha Taxis don't do transfers to Agios Gordios (see Stripey T-shirt's post of 12th July). I'm sure Weststekker's advice is sound as so many people do exactly as he says - especially to Agios Gordios.

Given that the journey to the resort is relatively short then I can't see a problem with catching a taxi outside the airport. Just agree the price with the driver before you get in.

Have just returned from Agios Gordios and would like to let you know that the prices in all of the Tavernas/Restaurants were almost the same as two years ago. The strength of sterling against the euro has meant that that you need to spend as much as you can to keep the fabulous resorts going.

Sorry, this has probably been done to death but my search kind of failed miserably! I know there are wasps in September having been to Agios Gordios in the first week of September, but are wasps all over Corfu then? Please don't tell me they aren't a problem - I would have 5 or 6 of the little blighters on me at any one time!!! Really want a week or two in Corfu early September but can't stand the wasps! May have to be Majorca! (roll on San Stephanos in 3 weeks!)

A couple of years ago we set out from Kassiopi for a run down the west coast, without a map. Eventually we came across high in the hills a fantastic place called The Golden View taverna.
