WALKING |
Many visitors to Agios Georgios love to walk extensively
or just stroll and the area caters for both tastes.
The long sandy beach is ideal
for ambling along the wide gently sloping sand or paddling through the clear
water. If you get thirsty there are numerous tavernas at regular intervals
nearby.
Most roads are generally quiet and there is no main road.
Obviously walkers must keep aware of approaching traffic and step on to the
verge, particularly on the road to Pagi which has some blind
corners. Remember that a lot of cars, scooters and motor bikes are hire ones
driven by British tourists unused to the controls and driving on the right, so
give them plenty of space!
I have suggested a few walks of varying
length, with detailed routes and some photographs.
Unlike in some
countries, there are no signed public paths (the Corfu Trail excepted) and it
should be understood that the paths and tracks used are mostly private ones
used or created for access to cultivated fields or olive groves. Consequently
they are not guaranteed to stay constant (some become closed and some new
ones may appear) so please be respectful of the land owners'
property.
OVERGROWN PATHS: Some of the routes use little used
paths and these can become overgrown especially in early season until the
combination of walkers and summer sun have lessened the vegetation.
Comment: Too
much rubbish (plastic bags etc) is now appearing and will spoil these lovely
walks. Please do not add to it ! TAKE your rubbish back to a disposal
point!
