Georgioupolis Beach is located just 37 kilometers east of Chania, along the Old National Road to Rethymno. It is one of the longest beaches in Crete, stretching over 9 kilometers of fine golden sand.
The beach is occasionally affected by the northern summer winds known as meltemia, but it remains a popular destination, particularly on the western side where most of the facilities are located. On the eastern side, the beach becomes quieter and more secluded — perfect for visitors seeking peace and privacy.
Georgioupolis is a well-organized beach offering all the amenities visitors need: sunbeds and umbrellas, beach bars for refreshments, and traditional seaside taverns serving delicious fresh fish and Cretan dishes. It's also a great spot for water sports and beach activities.
The nearby fishing harbor of Georgioupoli village adds to the charm of the area and attracts many tourists with its relaxed atmosphere and picturesque setting. The village provides many accommodation options, including hotels, rooms to rent, and resorts for every budget.
Georgioupolis is well-connected by regular bus services to Chania and Rethymno, making it ideal for both day trips and extended stays. Just a short distance away, visitors can enjoy a nature getaway at the beautiful Lake Kournas, which is easily reachable on foot or by bicycle.
Whether you're looking for a lively beach atmosphere or a tranquil escape in Crete, Georgioupolis Beach offers the perfect setting.
