Georgioupolis was a small village located by a very long sandy beach. There are now many hotels built along the beach. Although the village is now entirely geared towards catering for the tourists it remains quite attractive with its small fishing harbour, its river and large eucalyptus trees.

Georgioupolis is located right by the national road between Hania and Rethimnon. Good connections by public transport.

Dominated by the package tour crowd but the village is still pleasant.

A lot of accommodation but many of the hotels deal mainly with package tours. Independent travelers are more likely to find places in or near the village.

A lot of the visitors eat in their hotels but there are also quite a few restaurants in the village.

A number of shops catering for tourists.

Some bars and maybe a discotheque.

The longest sandy beach in West Crete (9 km) where you can still find quiet spots.
