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. 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.
Good location with gorgeous sea and coastal views; fantastic breakfast with a very good variety of delicious selections, well appointed room with a very comfortable bed; friendly, helpful staff; a very pleasant sun deck area with pool; exceptionally clean. We really enjoyed our room and its seaview balcony, and we looked forward to breakfast every morning— it is one of the best breakfast buffets we have enjoyed in Greece.
The hotel is great, staff is very kind and professional. The rooms are modern, clean, the bathrooms clean, towels are changed every day. There is a safe, a large balcony. The hotel is in the best position in town, the supermarket is just across the street and of course the restaurants. Agia Galini is a beautiful, small town, so everything is close. The hotel has its own parking which is free
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.
I’ve been to Agia Galini many times and have stayed at the Akteon 3 times. If you’re looking for absolute luxury this isn’t for you. If you want a clean room, comfortable beds, linen and towels changed regularly, a location 2 minutes away from the harbour, bars and restaurants and a lovely host (Eleni) then I can thoroughly recommend it.
Value (quality you get compared to cost). Quality of room is better than expected. Very clean. Owner is diligent in cleaning the room. AC works well and quiet even during a heat wave (July 2022). I think the relatively low cost of the hotel room is mainly due to the high concentration of hotels in the small town.
The hotel was recently renovated and we had a super modern family room which was really clean. The hosts are super nice and help you with everything you need. From the Pooldeck you have a nice view over the city. The beach with many nice restaurants is reachable by just a 5min walk. We would definitely come back!
Nice and very friendly owners, spectacular seaside view from the room. Best comfortable and big beds (with toppers) on the whole journey. Lovely breakfast for just 6 Euro. We would come again😊. Thanks for further travel advices regarding quite beaches and areas on Crete.
nice hotel, very near from the busstation and quite close to the beach and the old town. Shops, nice fish restaurants and an authentic Greek cafes are nearby too. Relaxing and beautiful view on mountains and on the sea. Host offered us a bottle of wine at the arrival!
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 location is perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach in one direction, and 5-7 minutes to town in the other direction. the room is simple but fine, kitchenette is well equipped, the balcony and view are amazing!! and the hostess is great!
Dimos the manager went out if his way to make us feel welcome. He was exceptionally friendly, hospitable and accommodating. We would recommend anyone traveling to Crete to stay here. A beautiful little town with warm and generous hosts.
The hotel was in a very good location, with a great common area, surrounded by trees and nice views. The breakfast was unbelievable, every day a great new dish was made by the friendly hosts. For sure the best part of our stay.
Room overlooked a cute courtyard. Service was friendly and attentive. Breakfast was tasty. The hotel is located a short walk from all the beaches
The hotel was nice and quiet with an authentic, family feel.
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 staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. They always had a smile on. We had a breakfast with a lot of home-made food, which was delicious. For us, the best stay on Crete so far.
We loved everything about this place. The owner is exceptionally welcoming and helped us with everything we needed for our stay and ongoing journey in Crete.
