Built into a hillside overlooking a small fishing harbour, Agia Galini is a busy family resort, its pretty whitewashed houses packed with cafes and souvenir shops. The grey sand beach, lined with sunloungers and backed by tavernas, lies a 500-metre walk from town. It is also a good base for visiting the nearby archaeological sites of Phaestos and Gortys.
