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.

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).

In 1770, Ioannis Vlachos (Ιωάννης Βλάχος), known as Daskalogiannis (Δασκαλογιάννης), the leader of the Cretan rebels, was captured by Ottoman soldiers in Frangokastello. He was executed the following year on June 17, 1771, in Kandiye, present-day Heraklion.

The name Frangokastello comes from a Venetian castle built in 1371 on a low peninsula, the crenellated outer walls of which still stand today. Above the south gate of the fortress, the coat of arms of the Venetian builders, the Lion of Saint Mark, is still well preserved. Inside the structure, however, only the foundations of the complex are visible. The castle, which was restored again by the Venetians under their commander Nicolo Dona in 1593, was later abandoned. Subsequently, the local inhabitants of Sfakio removed the beams from the towers and rooms.

Beautiful little church above the harbor and surrounded by many palm trees...it could easily look like this in the Caribbean.
