About Agia Galini

Agia Galini, often hailed as one of the prettiest resorts on Crete’s south coast, is a delightful former fishing village full of authentic charm and relaxed Cretan character. Its traffic-free streets wind gently up from the picturesque harbour, inviting leisurely strolls past cosy cafés, boutique shops, and family-run tavernas.

This charming village is an ideal base for exploring nearby archaeological sites and the traditional mountain villages of southern Crete, yet everything you need is conveniently on your doorstep. At the waterfront, a golden sandy and shingle beach stretches invitingly along the shore, complete with sunbeds and parasols—perfect for a lazy day by the sea.

Whether you’re sampling fresh seafood at a family-run restaurant, wandering the harbour, or simply soaking up the laid-back atmosphere, Agia Galini is the perfect place to unwind and experience the authentic spirit of 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."
