Georgioupolis
is a former fishing-village at the western end of the bay of ▶ Rethymnon on the island of ▶ Crete. Apartments and hotels have established around the old village center and offer a variety of choice and size, and the old fishing port has been extended to a small marina. The place's landmark is a tiny white chapel on the tip of the pier. |

A small river, which is sourced The last section of the river changes into a long stretching lake where one can watch several species of water birds. The river finally mixes with sea water to form the port of Georgioupolis. |

|

|
In the village center and by the port there is a number of restful cafes and restaurants.
The original Mediterranean style can still be felt today.
East of the village center, the wind and the drift during thousands of years formed a mile-long sandy beach which continues under water. It is therefore also suitable for small children. |

To the east along the bay there are some large hotels and resorts, and on their beaches all kinds of watersports are on offer.
5 kms South-East of Georgioupolis there is the Lake Kournas which is said to be Crete's only freshwater lake. At least as the only "real" one as it has a natural origin and water all-year round. |
