TRANSPORT

Getting About Locally




Many visitors to this area love to walk and there are numerous walks in and around San George some of which are described on these pages. To go further afield there are Mountain Bikes, Scooters and Motor bikes and Car Hire available in the resort. These are all available in the resort from respected local businesses at reasonable prices. (See link to separate page)

Local Public Transport

Local Public Transport is very limited. There are 2 buses a day into Corfu Town, but only one is of any use if you wish to return by bus the same day ! It leaves the beach at 10.15 a.m. daily (not Sundays) --return leaves the town at 4.30 p.m (do not miss it !!). The buses are air-conditioned and the drivers are quite used to foreign tourists. Unfortunately there are no other public transport routes which tourists wishing to visit other resorts in the area can use.

Taxis

Otherwise taxis are available but naturally more expensive. George Rouvas (Tel. 26630 96419 or Mobile 6944 328254) from the nearby village of Pagi is often used by the hotel owners. His number is a useful one to keep. Bear in mind that the actual Taxi rank is in Sidari.

Car Hire

To make the most of a holiday in this somewhat out-of-the-way resort a hire-car is helpful. We have hired cars from several local firms at considerably lower prices than the major International companies, and have been very satisfied with the cars and service (see side panel Menu).
There are many places worth visiting. Choose from other coastal resorts such Arillas, Agios (San) Stefanos, Sidari, Roda, Acharavi, Kassiopi and numerous others or just visit the lot as Corfu is so small. For the real flavour of Corfu do not miss a slow meander through the beautiful countryside of the quiet central areas. ( See Link).

Our favourite "not to be missed" short car trips are to:

  • Afionas for drinks at Dionysos taverna or neighbouring Porto Timoni Cafe to take in the magnificent view over Agios Georgios bay, and either the Three Brothers or Panorama Restaurants for spectacular evening sunsets.( See Afionas Link).
  • Pagi village ( See Pagi Link) for coffee or drinks at a local greek cafe-bar, and on up through Prinilas via the twisting hill road with its magnificent views to the small village of Makrades, now well known for its souvenir shops and the local residents who leap out into the road waving cars to stop to buy their goods. (See link to Angelokastro)
    For a longer trip carry on through Makrades down through Lakones with more superb views over the rocky bays of the famous resort of Paleokastritsa.
