High on a cliff, steeped in the fragrance of pine and lemon groves, cypress and sage, Aghios Gordios provides
a dramatic view of the bay. Agios Gordios is on the west coast of the island, near Corfu town. It nestles at the foot of a dramatic range of coastal hills covered in tall, elegant pine trees. Its bay sweeps gently between two large headlands and boasts a sand and pebble beach. Swimming in its clear, warm waters will wash away any stresses and strains.
Agios Gordios itself is founded in a rural community where traditional industries - such as fishing and farming - still play a huge part in everyday life. Agios Gordios resort in Corfu is a true gem with a true Greek atmosphere.

Around the beach it can get quite busy and there are plenty of opportunities for amusement throughout the resort. These include watersports, walking in the stunning hills and even sky diving. The finer things in life are all on offer here too - the local food and a cold glass of 'retzina' - white wine flavoured with pine resin - will delight your tastebuds.

The Agios Gordios village has a huge bay with a beautiful,
sweeping crescent of sand and pebble. There is a tiny islet offshore. Backed by forested hills that tempt keen walkers, and fronted by a turquoise sea, life here revolves around the beach, at the southern end of which is a gigantic rock, the Ortholith, where snorkelling is particularly good. Facing west, it is a terrific beach for catching the afternoon sun. Tavernas / Restaurants in Aghios Gordios are renowned for excellent food. A local speciality is squid stuffed with bacon, cheese and garlic.

The village of Agios Gordios is relaxing, but by no means asleep.
It can get busy in high season and there is the occasional disco. Aghios Gordios has a few supermarkets and souvenir shops. For more variety, head to Corfu town. There's Pelekas and Kontogialos beach, at the top of a twisting road and below it the popular resort of Glyfada. Other excursions include the leisurely Boat Barbecue - what better way to see Corfu than cruising along its rugged coast - and the unmissable Greek Extravaganza, a perfect opportunity to dance the night away.

Aghios Gordios Quick Info
Agios Gordios, halfway down Corfu's west coast, has a mile-long stretch of sand backed by high cliffs which tumble dramatically into the sea. At one end lies a tiny offshore island, looking as if it has broken off the rockface and splashed into the water. As a rule, there's not much going on in lovely Aghios Gordios! During the day, most people are either turning golden brown on the beach while catching up on their reading, or exploring the pine-clad hills behind the resort, and nightlife is limited to a handful of friendly bar/disco bars. You can take a bus over to Corfu town, about sixteen kilometres away, to enjoy the hustle and bustle and get in some serious shopping - but we bet you'll be glad to get back to the tranquil beauty of Aghios Gordios!
