About Agia Galini

Located on Crete’s stunning southern shoreline, Agia Galini is a charming former fishing village that blends traditional character with laid-back living. Its traffic-free streets wind steeply up from the picturesque harbour, inviting you to stroll & explore.

Agia Galini makes an ideal base for discovering nearby archaeological treasures and authentic mountain villages, while still offering everything you need close at hand — from cosy tavernas and family-run restaurants to boutique shops and cafes.

Down by the waterfront, a golden stretch of sandy and shingle beach awaits, complete with sunbeds and parasols.

It's the perfect place to unwind and experience the real Crete.

Reviews

"Many thanks for all your help in setting up our trip to Crete. All the arrangements worked perfectly and the holiday was just what we wanted in terms of the amount of travelling, the range of sights and the quality of the hotels. We very particularly liked the Minos Hotel in Ayia Galini, which was really welcoming, our room had a wonderful large balcony and the breakfast was a cut above all the other hotels.Thanks again. We will certainly aim to book with you in future - and will recommend you to ..."

"This form can't convey how good we felt the service you provided was - each hotel seemed better than the last with the Palazzo Greco being absolute standout! The only complaint we had was the noise the night we stayed in Chania which went on until 5.00 am. If we did it again we wouldn't stay in the centre of Chania. The visit to Spinalonga was everything we anticipated and more."
