About
Resort village where the Almyros river meets a long beach.
Georgioupoli lies at the mouth of the Almyros river, which forms a small harbour in the village. A beach of about 9 km stretches east from here, and Lake Kournas is a short drive inland.
Around Apokoronas
The west of Crete is the island at its most dramatic. Chania has the most beautiful Venetian old town on Crete, wrapped around a harbour with a lighthouse and a domed mosque. In the evening the narrow lanes of Splantzia and the old Jewish quarter fill up with tavernas and small bars. More about Chania
