Located at the eastern part of Hania perfecture, just 21km from Rethymno, Giorgioupolis is a very well developed settlement offering one of the most popular beaches of Hania. With pure sand and clean, shallow waters, Giorgioupolis beach is fully organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, lifeguard and many accommodation units and tavernas all around. The highligh of the area is Kournas Lake and the sweet water bursting from various spots on the beach. Do not miss out to have a walk up to Perastikos River, which divides the beach into two. At the point where Perastikos ends up to the sea, the waters are very cool and the vegetation around unique. Take care of the sea currents and the waves on windy days.
