In general, Georgioupolis is a well-organized beach, with sunbeds, umbrellas, changing rooms, and showers. Apart from swimming and sunbathing, you can also practice sea sports, enjoy a refreshing drink at the beach bars, or have a scrumptious meal at the seaside fish taverns. It’s important to know that this beach is not the safest option for children because of the waves caused by the winds and the strong currents underneath. However, they only occur across the coast, so you do not need to worry about getting dragged too deep into the sea.

There is also a variety of accommodation choices across the seashore. From luxurious rooms to let with pools and spa centers to cozy family-owned hotels, you can find the ideal place to stay depending on your budget and preferences.
