Georgioupolis used to be a tiny fishing village up to 1990 or so, located on the delta of the river Almiros next to a long sandy beach.  Nowadays is a small lively tourist village with the village square surrounded by eucalyptus trees, café-bars and tavernas as the focal point.

Although tourist facilities have expanded, Georgioupolis in Chania hasn’t lost any of its original charm and tranquillity, it’s still a tightly knit community of locals involved primarily with the traditional activities of stock breeding, farming and fishing, it still has small port with fishing boats and small tourist boats.

Georgioupolis is surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery; it has a unique and laid back atmosphere, with old eucalyptus trees, small river that flows into the sea, and the longest sandy beach in Western Crete (9 km), It is so long and wide that it never feels crowded, if you’re the kind of person who loves deserted beaches then walk a little towards the east, its quieter there and you will find lots of deserted spots. A good selection of Chania hotels to experience a wonderful Chania Holiday
