About Georgioupoli
This beautiful Cretian village is nestled between Chania and Rethymo, and is named after Prince George, who was around in the days of the Ottoman Empire. It has the distinction of being on the coast with over five miles of beaches, and being at the confluence of three rivers. If this was not enough, you get to the village by driving down an avenue of Eucalyptus, but koala free, trees. This quaint, small town pulls in many a tourist, where tavernas, restaurants and bars dot the streets and around the main square.
