Holidays in Aghios Gordios

An introduction to Aghios Gordios

Holidays in Aghios Gordios – what Corfu is famous for.

Some people say Corfu's tourist success has taken away its charm. Aghios Gordios proves them absolutely wrong. On Corfu's west coast, this small resort has everything – clear warm waters lapping a long sandy beach. Tavernas and restaurants along the seafront. Great hotels like the Hotel Aghios Gordios, part of Thomson's Gold selection for 30 years. And yet, tourism hasn't taken over. Fishing and farming are just as important. Aghios Gordios' holiday makers mingle with normal rural life. You'll be hiding your holiday snaps when you get home – jealously guarding your discovery!

And you will have great photos. Set between two headlands, sheltered by pine covered slopes, Aghios Gordios' picturesque scenery is breathtaking. Take in the panoramic views – and dare devil paragliders - at the Katogarouna promontory. Gaze down at the beautiful beach. Perhaps it's Orthilithi, Aghios Gordios' guardian rock, or just the town's protected position, but the beach never gets crowded – perfect for little scamps and couples seeking calm. Watersports are low key, but there's always Aqualand for an aquatic adrenalin rush.

Some things to do before you leave. Take a boat trip – just go to see the town from the sea, or head off to one of Greece's best beaches, Glyfada. Go for a walk – sounds silly, but people miss the chance to explore traditional hillside villages and Corfu's natural beauty. And finally, eat at Sebastian's Taverna – any info on dining out in Aghios Gordios will mention the fine Greek cuisine and warm welcome they serve up here.
