Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Georgioupoli”, 231 m from the beach)
Georgioupoli beach in Chania stretches for kilometers, with fine sand and shallow waters. It lies next to the river lined with eucalyptus trees, offering natural shade. Its orientation ensures calm seas most days. Ideal for families with young children, it combines comfort with natural scenery.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces north. With southerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The coast is exposed to the open sea, so conditions change quickly with the wind.
The shore faces north (350°), so from April to August the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
Yes — the water deepens gradually, making it one of the better choices for small children.
On days with southerly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
