Georgioupoli Beach

Georgioupolis Beach is a long and beautiful sandy beach located on the north coast of Crete, between Chania and Rethymno, in the Apokoronas region. Stretching for several kilometres, the beach is known for its golden sand, clear shallow waters and impressive mountain backdrop.

Georgioupolis Beach is ideal for swimming and relaxing, especially for families, as the sea is generally calm and gently sloping. Parts of the beach are well organised with sunbeds, umbrellas and beach bars, while other sections remain quieter and more natural for visitors seeking space and tranquillity.

The beach is easily accessible from the village of Georgioupolis, where visitors can find tavernas, cafés, shops and accommodation. Freshwater from nearby rivers sometimes meets the sea, creating cooler swimming spots and adding to the area’s unique natural character.

With its combination of long open shoreline, mountain views and good facilities, Georgioupolis Beach is a popular choice for both day visitors and longer stays, offering a relaxed seaside experience in a scenic part of Crete.
