What to Know Before Visiting Agia Galini town

Apartments and hotels in Agia Galini town from Crete Island

Agia Galini is a serene seaside resort located on the southern shores of Amari, 61km southeast of Rethymno and 68km southwest of Iraklion. The name Agia Galini translates to “Holy Tranquility” or “Holy Serenity” in Greek, and it truly lives up to its name. The resort offers a peaceful atmosphere that visitors can only find at the shoreline, with calming waters lapping against its tranquil shores.

Once a modest fishing community providing sustenance for nearby villagers, Agia Galini experienced rapid growth in the ’60s and ’70s when tourism began to flourish in the area. The beauty of the resort attracted a new generation of carefree and liberated “hippies,” and since then, countless travelers have been captivated by its charm, visiting year after year.

Today, Agia Galini is a modern resort with a traditional character that offers all amenities to its visitors, including accommodation, food, entertainment, medical services, post office, banks, and shops. To the west of Agia Galini, awe-inspiring caves have been molded by nature and are only accessible to travelers via boat tours. One particular cave is famously known as Daedalus’ Cave due to its rumored association with the mythical craftsman and artist, Daedalus himself.

Visitors can also take a boat tour to explore the neighboring beaches of Agios Georgios, Agios Pavlos, and Preveli. The two islets of Paximadia lie opposite of Agia Galini, and tourists can take a tour boat there to explore the area. Archaeological excavations in the area have revealed several findings, including remains of columns and a temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis, as well as a Roman shipwreck from the 3rd AD century.
