The idyllic seaside village of Agia Galini is three kilometers from the villa and a 5-minute drive. When you arrive in Agia Galini, you will find winding cobble stone streets, restaurants, shopping, beaches, outdoor cafes and bars, and a thriving nightlife. During the day the village is quieter, but that can be the perfect opportunity to sip a cool drink by the ocean or casually visit the many village shops selling traditional Cretan products and souvenirs.

Heraklion, is a port city and the capital of Crete. It’s known for the Palace of Knossos, just outside the city.
