Aghios Gordios – Relaxed attractive resort retaining charm
Aghios Gordios is an attractive village in an exceptional, protected bay surrounded by dramatic, verdant, pine-covered rocky mountainous scenery. Aghios Gordios is on the west coast of Corfu, just 12 miles from Corfu Town and the airport. Aghios Gordios holidays are popular with those seeking relatively quiet beauty, a fine beach and a village that has retained some traditional Corfu charm along with tourist development. Farming and fishing carry on here alongside tourism. Aghios Gordios has great views thanks to its hilly location and is centred on a single main road that descends to Aghios Gordios beach.
