Great place we went out of season but there was still enough bars and tavernas open, but many more to open and they looked good also. We also had two dogs with us and we and them were welcome everywhere. Could not fault the friendly people and the hospitality we had at our hotel and bars and tavernas was first rate. We will definitely be going back.

Lovely fishermen’s town with great tavernas and bars/cafes. Chilled and relaxing atmosphere. Very nice beach, again with good tavernas serving delicious Greek and international food. Walking distance between town, beach and hotels. Hidden gem for me.

It is in strategic position, central to reach beautyful beaches on the east and on the west of the village within 30 min-1 hour by car. It is also a small pictoresque and typical greekvillage with a small harbour, full of shop, markets, restaurants and services, but very quiet as well

A very nice village by the sea.
A very nice village by the sea. Lots of options for eating out including tavernas at the next beach to the east. Ferry service from the harbour and tour boats for fishing a sightseeing. One of our favourite locations on Crete.

After coming from Paleochora, I’m afraid Agia Galini was a huge disappointment. It looks tired and run down and the beach is less than spectacular. The view of the water from any restaurant is marred by the rather grotesque breakwater. I would advise folks to stay in Spili. A much prettier town.

Ag. Galini is a beautiful small city, located on the hill.
Ag. Galini is a beautiful small city, located on the hill. Although is a touristic place its quite and peaceful. Everything is near and you don't need the car to move around. The beach is beautiful and the local shops have a great variety. The local cuisine is delicious and the people very friendly.
Only stayed for a night but one of the best places during our trip. The resort is located in beautiful mountains just a 8 Minute drive from Agia Galini.
Rooms were, beautiful, clean and decorated tastefully like the entire resort area. A very calming and relaxing place.
The best part were the super friendly owners and incredible (!) Breakfast. Served at a table with self made cake, jams, salad from the resort garden and sweet and savory treats.
We will visit again.
Beautiful property! I had chosen to stay at the roof top room, which is different from all the rest of the rooms at this hotel, because you have all the roof top floor to yourself with he most beautiful terrace I have been to. The view is amazing, and you have all the amenities to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, with great variety and a beautiful setting. Most of all - thanks to the amazing staff for being super nice and helpful!
Breakfast was amazing! Everyday there were different freshly baked sweet and savoury treats. There's a big parking right outside and a lot of restaurants and shops nearby. The hotel itself is clean, has a small fridge, nothing too special, but everything you need. The owners were also very helpful and nice! Going out of their way to find us a bottle opener, for example. Clean and nice pool, though a bit small.
The staff treats you like family and goes out of there way to make sure you have everything you need. The rooms are cleaned very often and it’s thoroughly done. Our room had a wonderful view on the property and the ocean.
Short walking distance from the beach. Breakfast is basic, but has enough choices for everyone. Overal a really good place to stay with family and we are sure to return next time.
We had an amazing stay thank to Maria who made everything perfect. The room was very spacious, had a lot of light during the day, and extremely clean. Maria took care of cleaning everyday, changed the towels as often as at a 5* hotel.
The location is perfect, close to all the bars and restaurants, beach, and supermarket.
We will recommend this place and definitely will come back.
Thank you Maria!
Near the apartment there were supermarkets and restaurants. The apartment owner was friendly and always available. He also told us the best places to visit which was a big help. :) The apartment matches what we see in the photos. It's also super clean. The only thing that wasn't so good was the noise of cars at night but everything else was perfect. Agía Galini is a good place to visit.
Super cozy and comfortable apartment. We liked literally everything!
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, a coffee machine makes excellent coffee, there is a washing machine, which is quite rare for apartments in Crete! The bedrooms with a bathroom are located on the second floor, they are not large, but for a family with 1 children - perfect!
Lovely place on a central location in Agia Galini. The family put their heart and soul into the hotel. We immediately felt at home. The breakfast is delicious, homemade with ingredients from their own farm, and served in their beautiful garden. The rooms with balcony are very cute. Galini means peaceful, well, we felt that here. Thankyou!
Sea views were breathtaking, and there was peace and quiet throughout our stay. The bathroom was more spacious than 90% of other Greek apartments, and especially the shower was really great. If it’s too windy at the beach for a swim, the pool is perfect. The terrace wrapped around our unit and we gazed at a full sky of stars every night.
I’ve been to Agia Galini many times and have stayed at the Akteon 3 times. If you’re looking for absolute luxury this isn’t for you. If you want a clean room, comfortable beds, linen and towels changed regularly, a location 2 minutes away from the harbour, bars and restaurants and a lovely host (Eleni) then I can thoroughly recommend it.
The host, Christos and his family are so friendly, very welcoming and supportive. The location is perfect, in the heart of Agia Galini with lots of bars, restaurants, parking and the beach nearby. The apartment especially the kitchen is well equipped, good Wi-Fi and very nice (authentic but also modern) decoration.
I ve been visiting Agia Galini frequently for 3 years, resulting in staying in more than 10 different hotels and apartments. Palazzo Greco has been probably the best, taking into consideration everything: location, amenities, personnel, breakfast, paid price.
Highly recommended.
The breakfast was wonderful. Something I found a little odd though, also, with me being standard in Crete. The hotel I don’t give me one beach towel for the week, they wouldn’t wash it without 8 or 6? € fee. Other than that, had a great stay 😆
Location is wonderful
very close to Agia Galini
Views are spectacular
We had a nice family villa with our own pool
Stefania the host was super nice, brought us something yummy to eat every day (cake, fruit, Greek yogurt)
We loved our stay here
This was the perfect location for visiting the central south. Near beach and archaeological sites. Amazing views from back balcony, incredibly helpful staff, very good breakfast, and free parking. Great value. Had a wonderful time here.
Every morning the breakfast was on top level. Hotel personal was kind a accommodating. Hotel has a nice placing close to center of the city so everything is a few minutes by foot. I really enjoyed this vacation on Crete !
The hospitality of the owner is exceptional. This is a very nice little hotel nicely decorated and the room is spacious.
The breakfast is very good.
I really recommend staying there if you visit Agia Galini.
