Directly behind the beach, there is one tavern after another. The prices are moderate and the decor is usually very tasteful. It's difficult to choose. It's very quiet and civilized and there are no pick-up artists like in the big cities.

Agia Galini lies in southern Crete on the Libyan Sea. Nearby villages include Melambes, Kria Vrisi, and Agios Pavlos. Together with the village of Xirokambos, the port town forms a local community within the municipality of Agios Vasilios. East of Agia Galini, the Platis River flows into the Libyan Sea. Off the coast lie the two uninhabited Paximadia Islands (also known as the Zwieback Islands).
