Beaches

Agios Georgios South has two beaches, one backed by sand dunes and the other by cliffs, with golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see along the coastline. The beach is popular and often busy in summer, but quiet spots can be found on the edge of the beach away from the hub of the resort. Cafes and tavernas are close to the beach and watersports are popular, particularly jet skiing and paragliding.

Things To Do

Just north of Agios Georgios South is Lake Korission, a saltwater lagoon where turtles, lizards and many species of birds live. Many holidaymakers visit this nature reserve to go birdwatching and see the many animals that call it their home. Another outdoor activity is the walk through the olive groves to the traditional Greek village of Argyrades, where you can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy spectacular views of the coastline.
