Mouragiou Studio

Between the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea and the foothills of the White Mountains in the northwest of Crete, lies Georgioupolis. Tall eucalyptus trees provide pleasant shade and welcome everyone who comes to the village and to the long sandy beach that stretches for miles to the east.

The pleasant little town has grown in recent years, from a sleepy fishing village to a popular holiday resort where everything is within easy walking distance. Its location by the sea, surrounded by undulating mountains, allows the traditional income from agriculture and fishing to this day.

Fishing boats line the picturesque estuary, including pedal boats that you can rent for a fun little boat trip to see the terrapins that live in the freshwater current. The village square has always been the meeting place for locals and guests to exchange stories of the day in one of the numerous taverns and cafes, while sipping on a chilled ouzo or enjoying a delicious Greek salad to start the evening’s dinner.

The Mouragio Apartments are located closer to the beach of Georgioupolis than any other accommodation. Only 40 metres separate your front door from the sandy beach and it takes less than three minutes to walk to the village square!

These eight comfortable apartments are designed with a nautical theme, inspired by the owner’s work on a large ship that commutes daily between Crete and Athens. Tasteful blue tones, portholes, pictures of mermaids, dolphins and boats and a large anchor at the entrance are just some of the special features of the Mouragio Apartments.

The two studios, five one-bedroom apartments (max. 4 pers.) and 1 two-bedroom apartment each have a bathroom with a hip bath and shower attachment, kitchenette, TV, air conditioning and balcony or veranda, most with sea view.

The magnificent sandy beach is a wonderful place to spend the day, but there is also an outdoor pool 150 metres from Mouragio. It is open to everyone, with a fee of around 6 euros for a sun lounger.

If you want to explore the wider area (and there really is plenty to do and see) you can rent a car or take the public bus to Rethymnon, heading east, or to Chania, heading west, or you can explore the area on foot. A speed level in between would be the ‘Georgioupolis Road-Train’, which takes you to the mountain village of Argiroupolis with its natural springs and waterfalls, a cool, shady spot for lunch on a hot summer’s day! Lake Kournas, Crete’s only freshwater lake, picturesquely framed by the foothills of the White Mountains, is only 6 km away. Here you can swim, rent a pedalo or, if that’s too energetic for you, enjoy the view from one of the tavernas on the shore!
