Post by: tonyco1 on May 23, 2012, 01:58:13 AM: I have never seen one going there, maybe Lesley would know if the inter-resort bus will go there?,
However - it's easy to reach by quad-bike or car hire - and a nice resort!

Post by: tonyco1 on May 23, 2012, 02:05:44 AM: Check the ''Out & About'' topics / inter resort bus
I have done a copy & Paste of Lesley's answer within the thread - (Thanks for that Lesley - I hope you didn't mind!)

Hi xxxxxx, it runs between the resorts of Sidari, through San Stefano (stops are Romanza and Barras) onto Arillas and St George, some vendors in resort have tickets otherwise if you check either the Thomson or Thomas Cook reps they should also have tkts, if not p.m. me and I wll give you the owners website link to book tkts. Just 5 euros a day or 15 euros per week. Lso recerntly introduced are child prices......

Gaznviv - - - Contact Lesley for more information.

Post by: tonyco1 on May 23, 2012, 02:15:23 AM: what happened there then? Was the bus too old? or not viable!

Post by: Jimbo on May 23, 2012, 03:21:21 AM: I think there were a few local licensing issues and perhaps take-up wasn't adequate.

Post by: Jules on May 23, 2012, 10:23:54 AM: We didn't get the chance to try the inter resort bus as it had finished by the time we went. As Jimbo said there were local issues. Quad bikes make a great alternative or indeed car hire as well

Post by: Jimbo on May 23, 2012, 02:07:36 PM: It's just the other side of Afionas. Probably 15-20 minutes on a quad bike.

Hi Gasniv
Walks to Agios Georgios & Afionis are about 5k & are both excellent if you enjoy a good walk It takes about 1.5 hrs each way and the scenery is to be seen to be believed.Details of both walks can be found at the top of the forum page .Click on local walks & print off the ones you fancy doing.

We did just that last year and then took it down to Palio - don't like Palio very crowded and the teverna's are not good and very over priced.
Anyway Agios Georgios..... when you 'park' the boat make sure you park well away from other boats (some look expensive). The under current is pretty bad and ours moved even with the parking brake applied ! (Anchor to you land lovers) !!

Post by: Lesley on June 05, 2012, 01:47:52 PM: Just seen these posts, the Inter resort Bus was a trial last summer during August. The take up by visitors was very good however there were operating issues which if you would like the full story is best to contact Herman on www.corfudirect.eu as his idea perhaps for now a 'little ahead of the times'?
Agios Georgios which was the original thread, well worth a visit and after leaving Arillas follow the signs towards Afionas and then at the junction you will see the sign to St George, Pagi. By car about a 15 mins drive. Long beach, clear blue waters (always find the sea there quite refreshing - read cold). There is also a diving school based in St George. A much quiter resort than Agios (San) Stefanos and well worth a visit. Not walked it but I do have friends who live here who have.
