Agios Georgios Pagon is the beach for people who find Paleokastritsa too busy. The bay is wide, the sand is long and the village is small. It faces north-west, so wind can bring waves, but on calm days the sea is clear.

What to do
- Beach day. Sunbeds in season, tavernas behind the beach, space to walk.
- Walk towards Angelokastro. A path climbs from the bay area through the hill villages, with views. See the Angelokastro guide for the castle itself.
- Drive the coast. The road to Afionas and Porto Timoni continues the same coastline.
- Take a guided tour. A 4x4 coastal tour covers the villages and viewpoints.
Check the wind first. On breezy days the surf can be strong. Ask at your hotel which side of the island is calmer.
