About

Octavia's Souvenir Shop serves Crete from Epar.Od. Georgioupolis-Kournas, Kournas 730 07, on the road that runs through the village.

Thirteen reviews have left Octavia's Souvenir Shop with a 5/5 rating, a small sample that nonetheless puts it at the top of its range. Kournas sits inland from Georgioupolis on Crete's north-west coast, within driving distance of Chania and Rethymno, and the shop's position on the Georgioupolis-Kournas road makes it a straightforward stop for anyone travelling between the coast and the village. Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie further east, so the shop suits visitors already touring the western side of the island. It operates as a gift shop.

Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival on Crete, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, so timing a visit around one of these adds local colour to a stop.

Kournas sits on the road linking Georgioupolis with the inland village, a route visitors pass along when moving between the coast and the hills.
