The Best of Crete

Agia Galini beach is a long, tranquil stretch of fine pebbles and sand on Crete's southern coast, known for its clear and calm waters, although they can be cool due to the nearby river. The beach is well-organized with sunbeds, umbrellas, and numerous tavernas and cafes on the western side, while the eastern section becomes more secluded and natural, popular with nudists. It's a great spot for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports, with boat trips to nearby islands and sea caves also departing from the picturesque harbor.
​The WWII bunker in Agia Galini is a fascinating historical site built by German forces during the occupation to defend the harbor. Located along the cliffside road leading to the village, this large, well-preserved tunnel consists of a long, vaulted hall and a stone staircase that leads to an upper exit on the rock face. Visitors can freely enter and explore the bunker, which offers a unique "mini-adventure" and a tangible connection to the area's wartime history, while providing a different perspective of the surrounding village and sea from its upper exit.
