Agia Galini is a small harbour village on the south side of Crete. It boasts several nice restaurants, boat tours, a diving school, sailing school, a doctors surgery and many tourist shops. The harbour area is about 3km from the villa.

Ag Galini also has several boat trips to the nearby islands and beaches along the coast. They also do dolphin sighting trips. New in 2008 is the sailing school run by an English couple, who also do painting, art and archeology lessons as well. A diving school is nearby and it is planned to have one open in Ag Galini in 2009.

There are two pharmacies on the road down to the harbour in Agia Galini and there is a medical centre on the same road virtually at the harbour on the right. The nearest small hospital is Spili, and the main hospital is at Rythemnon.

There is an information file in the villa that gives you more on the local sights, and there is a tourist office in the town. We recomend using Cretan Holidays for tours to the local sights if you dont want to drive. There are car hire and bike hire shops in the town as well.
