Georgioupoli

Water and harmony in the heart of Crete

Georgioupoli is located on the natural border of Chania and Rethymno, in a lush green bay, where Almyros river pours into the Cretan Sea. The landscape there is unlike anything else on Crete: Waters, eucalyptus trees, bridges, and the distinctive church of Agios Nikolaos, built on a small islet accessed by a narrow stretch of land through the sea. The beach, long and sandy, is ideal for families and those seeking cool relaxation.
Georgioupoli offers luxury hotels, accommodations, and wellness centres that combine comfort and the natural environment. Thanks to its location near the National Road, it is an ideal starting point for excursions to Chania, Rethymno, Apokoronas, and Lake Kournas or the southern coast.
A few kilometres further south, Lake Kournas lies at the foot of the Lefka Ori (“White Mountains”) mountain range. It is the only natural lake on Crete, part of the Natura 2000 network, with clear turquoise waters, and an impressive depth of up to 22 metres.
Georgioupoli and Lake Kournas compose a destination that offers moments of tranquillity and small discoveries at every step. Enjoy swimming in the sea, taking a boat ride, or walking around the lake, try local delicacies in the traditional tavernas, and discover a different way of life with a more peaceful pace in the heart of Crete.
