ABOUT THIS
WEB-SITE (the original guide to Agios Georgios North,
Corfu) |
|
This web-site was made and is maintained by a regular
visitor to Agios Georgios from UK. Call me Den ! The idea first took
hold after a typical holiday some years ago when we had made some good friends
among the local business people who were suffering from the fall-off in tourist
numbers to Corfu due to the emergence of new cheap holiday destinations all
over the world. At that time the British travel agents seemed to know very
little about the resort and it seemed such a shame that in this beautiful area
many apartments were empty for much of the season.
In those early days
of the Internet there was literally nothing about Agios Georgios available
on-line. I had a few photographs and signed up for a 3month course of evening
classes on web-page design, choosing this resort as my training subject,
naturally !
As you can tell it is an amateur site and is kept simple.
Hopefully the content will make up for what is lacking in quality and modern
design features. It does however use some Javascript, particularly
with images and links. If you have trouble you probably have Javascript
disabled in your Browser. To enable Javascript go to
this Google page for instructions.
The
web-site is aimed at attracting new visitors to Agios Georgios and the nearby
resorts. It also aims to help those who have already chosen the resort but
would appreciate more information to get the most out of their few days
holiday.
I have tried to cover typical holiday questions but other
pages have been made about topics which I know interest some visitors. Some
pages have been prompted by regular questions. |
| Staying in a
popular hotel with a chatty bar atmosphere helps me to do this. As a visitor
myself I see the resort from a visitor's point-of-view rather than that of a
resident used to the area. One local person looking at my nature pages said "I
have lived here all my life and drive or walk past that spot almost every day
but have never noticed that !" |
|
Many Internet Travel Guides now have pages about Agios
Georgios (some even have correct photographs and details). Some copy my
descriptions and photographs which is why I now imprint my web-address on the
better photographs |

Site visitors should bear in mind that this is not
intended to be an official guide and there will be some things you think are
missing. For instance I do not generally comment on tavernas or restaurants
as people have different opinions and experiences. Instead I provide a plan
showing the position of these facilities. I do NOT provide an accommodation
service nor a full list of apartments and studios as I would need to be
resident to do this. Instead I mention only a few self-catering premises in
which I or close friends have stayed in and can speak about from actual
experiences. |

CONTRIBUTIONS
In view of the limitations of my
short visits I really do appreciate any comments, information,
photographs etc provided by other visitors. The site is intended for you and
YOU can help me make it better. Just email me using the link
provided on every page. |
|
For example recently I added some
'Nature' pages, knowing that a small proportion of visitors enjoy the wild
flowers, birds, butterflies etc. My brief visits are a problem but this
is the Internetwith its superb communication facilities so you
can help me and help others enjoy their holiday by posting
your observations on the special Notebook provided there..
