About Georgioupolis
General

Impressive and beautiful scenery is backed by the panorama of the White Mountains. An excurstion through the vine, olive and cypress landscape with its small mountain villages is a must. Georgioupolis Beach is thin sanded extending over 8 km long and is considered to be one of the cleanest and safest in the country.
Don't miss
There are lot of places that you should visit, both in Georgioupolis, but also in the villages around. Don't miss the beautiful and graphic harbor of our village, and of course have a walk to the St. Nicolas Chapel. Astonishing are also the enormous eucalyptus trees around the village especially the pretty eucalyptus avenue on the old road to Vrises village. Ask us for more information on what else you should visit. In no case you should miss the magnificent sunset (or a fullmoon rise if you are lucky) from the beach.
