Georgioupolis Resort

The Georgioupolis resort is famous mainly for three things: 

• A splendid sandy beach sloping very gently into the sea, about 9 km long and providing enough place for both entertainment and relaxation 
• In Georgioupolis, it is the Almiros rivulet that empties there into the sea, with its banks covered with green vegetation where you can sit down in some of the many tavernas. Besides that, the fresh water and green vegetation provide enough living space for various animal species.
• Georgioupolis has a beautiful panorama. Towards the north, a rocky coast stretches, towards the east you will find a 10 km long sandy beach, and in the south, there rise the massive peaks of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) to the height of 2 400 m.

What to do in Georgioupolis

Georgioupolis was originally an uninhabited place with a small fishing village, yet little by little, it was transformed into a small town living on tourism. You can find there everything you might need, including a great variety of tavernas, cafés, all kinds of spots, car rental services, beach attractions…

Given the sensitive approach to the town development, Georgioupolis has plenty of green vegetation, many colonnades, and also a very famous little square where you can sit down in the tavernas right under the treetops.

Another famous part of the town is the access road from Vrisses, planted with eucalypti.
