Fishing excursions are popular, taking passengers out to quiet beaches, and there are departures to the many caves hidden in the cliffs, as well as to the Paximadia Islands opposite the resort.

Ideal terrain for avid walkers, with many mule tracks and paths leading through the agricultural farmland and hillsides full of olive groves, fruit trees and vineyards, and a number of established routes to follow.

Day Trips

Thanks to the resort's central location on the island, Agia Galini is an ideal base for exploring Crete and her sights, with famous attractions such as Spili, the Samaria Gorge, Rethymnon, Knossos, Heraklion and Chania well within reach.
