Agia Galini

This small littoral village is located 61 km southeast of Rethymno and 68 km southwest of Heraklion, at the exit of Amarianos river. It has managed to achieve huge touristic growth in the past decades. And not unfairly, since its landscape, its beaches and its mysterious sea caves make up an environment of rare beauty.

The large beach of Agia Galini starts from the port and extends to the east. If you prefer organized beaches, stay close to the port where you will find all necessary comforts. It has thin small pebbles and cold waters due to the river. The sea temperature is 18o C all year long.

If you want more privacy, move a little further east, across the river from the bridge. This part is less organized. Here as well the small pebbles and the crystal cool waters are the main feature. In this area there is the camping of Agia Galini.

If you move further east, the beach becomes narrow and rocky. It is more isolated here. This is why this part is preferred by nudists.

You can reach the beach by car, turning right after the river at the exit of the village.
