Georgioupoli is a resort village and former municipality in the Chania peripheral unit, Crete, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Apokoronas, of which it is a municipal unit. It is located 43 km east of Chania, about 22 kilometer west of Rethymno and about 100 kilometer west of Heraklio in the Apokoronas region. It was named after Prince George of Greece, high commissioner of the island in the last years of Ottoman occupation. Georgioupolis is found at the apex of Almiros Bay on the Sea Of Crete, with Cape Drapano and its rocky coast to the north and the long sandy beaches towards Rethimno in the east, just 20 kilometer away. Three rivers meet the sea at the village; the largest, Almiros, creates a small harbour for fishing and tourist boats. The entrance to the village on the old road from Vrisses is a long avenue of eucalyptus trees. Formerly a small fishing village, Georgioupolis is very much a tourist town now, with many caf.
