Agios Gordios Beach

Agios Gordios is another fine beach located on the west coast of Corfu. Its ribbon of golden sand runs for approximately 1.5 metres in length, and is lined much of the way by restaurants, tavernas, and accommodation options. Despite this the resort still has the feel of a Greek village, complete with small supermarkets and other useful amenities.

Taking its name from a church (St George) located midway along its length, Agios Gordios is known to be a decent beach from which to swim from, and is popular with families with younger children as a result.

However, there are also a long list of activities that can be enjoyed from this beach. In addition to sun loungers, boats, canoes and pedalos can all be hired. Banana boat rides are an option, as is the chance to try water skiing and paragliding. The latter is best in the late afternoon when the thermals have developed. There’s also a dive centre, while above the waves Agios Gordios is able to boast wonderful views of an attractive pillar of rock just offshore.
