I
n the last hundred years, many things have changed in Georgioupolis.
The once small village with its 9 km long sandy beach enticed the first "do it yourself" holiday makers, who found a few rooms available in the village.
The beach is busy with people enjoying the sand, the sea, and a drink at the beach bars.
Idyllic places around the rivers and marshy areas can still be found despite the increase in construction.

 Today the travel-boom has changed the life of the residents and tourists keep them very busy for six months of the year. Then they are alone again for a short winter season. Then once again, the village comes to life with residents and tourists meeting in the numerous cafe-bars, ouzeries, restaurants and tavernas.

Many small souvenir shops welcome the visitors as they take a stroll.

Impressive and beautiful scenery is backed by the panorama of the White Mountains.

The vine, olive and cypress landscape with its small mountain villages is especially lovely
for a day's excursion.
