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.
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.
From the moment we walked into Astoria Hotel we were welcomed by a lovely polite lady on Reception. Treated to Cake and a refreshing drink whist our luggage was kindly taken to our junior suite all free of charge. We only stayed one night on our travels around Crete but will definitely stay longer next time we are in Agia Galini. The Breakfast was Great and plenty of fresh produce to choose from and More!! Thanks For A lovely Experience. See you soon, Wayne And Michelle Newcastle UK 🇬🇧
The room was clean, very comfortable and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. They were extremely accommodating and helped me with everything that I needed. So this was a big plus. The hotel was wonderful. The price was amazing. Great location , walking distance to everything in the village. The beach was a couple of minutes (literally 😁) away. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Agia Galini.
Loved it!!
Excellent view of the bay and beach, looking eastward toward Kokkinos Pirgos. Huge rooms and balcony (we had apartment 171) , nice swimming pool and deck. The owner/operators, a mother and her daughters, are wonderfully helpful and friendly; the hotel is named after the late father of the family, whose portrait behind the reception desk well suits his name :-) Good parking, though steep at the end of the level street.
Erofili Rooms is a little heaven in the south of Crete. Totally Mamma Mia and hippie chill vibes. The staff was amazing, so kind and always helpful. Had some discussions in the afternoon with them on Cretan culture and went to see them perform their great music. We loved the location of “small town/village” and were able to visit most of Crete with the car. Definitely recommend and hope for sure to come back one day.
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.
The kindness and willing to help of the staff was very nice, the hotel was very clean, the view from room and pool was beautiful, the room was as expected small and no luxury but very sufficient, a ceiling fan could have been a + the huge balcony was very nice the location of the hotel. Hotel was full but very quiet. Be aware hotel have a lots of steps to go upstairs no elevator :-)
Sky Beach is located 1 min from the beach, plenty of restaurants, shops and tavernas at your doorstep. The owner is very pleasant and nice lady. The room is equipped with everything you need, and if there is something missing you can ask the hotel. The sea view and the size of the terrace are spectacular! Would love to come back here again for a longer stay.
The villa had a pool shared with just one more unit (it was too cold to use in April).
The view to the hills and the sea is magnificent. The place is just few km from Agia Galini city and beach.
The kitchen is nice and well equipped. There's a corner with sofas and a TV.
The breakfast looked nice (we did not take it - it was too late for us).
It is a really nice hotel with very nice hosts. Aris and Marina made everything for us to feel comfortable. We loved the breakfast, it was super delicious in a nice cool garden. The beach is very close, also all the bars and restaurants and in the same time the hotel is in a quiet street.
I highly recommend the place if you are in the area.
The hotel is great, and the staff is very friendly. The hotel is situated in a quiet location outside of the village Agia Galini. It is very close to the beach. The food quality is good, but not excellent. They serve traditional Greek cuisine, but some items at the buffet are too much cooked and the menu is quite repetitive.
Kate and her staff was amazing and very welcoming.
The room was clean and functional.
The location is perfect as it has a parking on front of the hotel (quite rare in Agia Galini) and you can reach the center and the beach in 3 minutes walking.
Definitely recommend it!
The hosts were really nice and flexible, they really made us and our baby feel welcome. The hotel was a short walk from the beach and the city center, but also quite close to the main road, with plenty of parking space. Very good to explore the south of Crete from here!
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 😆
The apartment is clean, in the center of the small town, comfortable beds, large room which are well air-conditioned. Close to the beach, all shops and restaurants are right next to the apartment. Great place for a family stay.
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.
On our tour of Crete (Almyrida 4 nights, Cora Sfakion 3 nights, Agia Galini 3 nights, Archanes 3 nights) we felt very comfortable in the Hotel Idi. Breakfast and cleanliness must be emphasized.
The location was ideal, the room was spacious with very comfortable beds and everything in the property was extra clean! Our room had also a balcony with a great view of Agia Galini.
