Argyrades is one of the largest and most historic “traditional settlements” in southern Corfu. This vibrant, working village offers a fascinating look at Venetian-influenced architecture, characterized by its tall, narrow houses built close together along winding alleyways. Today, it creates a unique, atmospheric labyrinth to explore. Argyrades serves as a bustling local hub and the main gateway to the magnificent sandy beach of Agios Georgios South, perfectly blending authentic Corfiot life with proximity to a major coastal resort.

Argyrades is in the south of Corfu, 32 km from Corfu Town. The drive takes around 50 minutes.
This architectural style is a remnant of the Venetian era and was designed for defence. Building the houses close together created a fortified wall around the village to protect residents from pirate raids.
Yes, it’s an excellent choice if you have a car and want an authentic village experience while being just minutes from a major sandy beach. It offers the best of both worlds: local life and beach access.
Agios Georgios South beach is approximately 3km from the centre of Argyrades village, a very easy and quick 5-minute drive down the hill.
