One of the most photographed landmarks in this part of Crete, the small Agios Nikolaos Church is the sparkling gem of Georgioupoli. It is, in fact, a whitewashed chapel, built on a small rocky islet and not so easily accessible on foot.
Mythos Palace Resort & Spa has a good choice of bars and restaurants, serving Greek mezze, Cretan cuisine, authentic Greek breakfast, and international specialties, as well as raki, Cretan wines, fine spirits, cocktails, fresh juices, coffee, and much more.
Georgioupoli is a charming destination and its main attraction is a 10 km stretch of sand, Georgioupolis Beach, which is awarded the Blue Flag label every year, for environment, water quality, safety, and access for all.
The legendary Zorba the Greek starring Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates, Lila Kedrova, Irene Papas, and Sotiris Moustakas, was filmed on Crete, mainly in the Chania regional unit, with many locations not far from Georgioupoli.
The largest fiesta on the island of Crete is the Carnival in Rethymno. It takes place every year before the Greek Orthodox Easter, and lasts about three weeks, depending on the movable dates of the Easter from February until March.
