Tips

Hiking

The former fishing village has now been taken over by tourism. Numerous hotels and taverns characterize the townscape. But everything makes a very nice and well-kept impression. In May it is still largely quiet here.

Hiking

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).

Hiking

The name Agia Galini (meaning "Saint Galini") is associated with Saint Galini, who was martyred in Corinth in the 3rd century AD.

According to Cretan mythology, Agia Galini was the place where Daedalus and his son Icarus escaped from the captivity of King Minos.
