Georgioupolis holidays - Greece

A lively resort with a laid-back charm

You’ll find it easy to relax into your quality time, when you’re on a Georgioupolis holiday from The Co-operative Travel.

Blessed with the longest sandy beach in the west of Crete, Georgioupolis has evolved into a lively resort, yet retains a laid-back charm where the local fishing industry still takes precedence.

Situated along the road between Chania and Rethymnon, Georgioupolis is 45 minutes from the former’s airport, and just over an hour from the main regional hub at Heraklion.

Choosing a Georgioupolis late deal holiday or all-inclusive holiday will introduce you to a village whose natural charm still shines through beyond the facades of the modern hotel developments.

Down beyond the harbour you can walk along a rocky path to reach St Nicholas’ chapel or take in the beautiful, picturesque scenery served up by the White Mountains.

The sands are bordered by a number of bars and restaurants, while you’ll also find more places to relax over a coffee, beer and a snack around the village square. This is the hub of the local nightlife, and is a very appealing setting in which to enjoy long, lazy evenings. As well as the six-mile long beach, Georgioupolis serves up regular boat trips to outlying resorts and a variety of watersports.

What’s more, the village really takes on a new dimension in the post-winter period with tourists regularly hitting the streets to enjoy the many bars and restaurants on offer. 

This lovely, traditional corner of Crete will capture your heart. So if you’re ready to be won over, head to The Co-operative Travel and book your Georgioupolis holiday now.
