A Day of Swimming in Agia Galini with a Traditional Twist!
In southern Rethymno, Agia Galini awaits you—a picturesque destination perfect for summer vacations.
Your one-day excursion will include plenty of swimming and a visit to the cave of Daedalus, a spot worth discovering.
After soaking in the coastal scenery, we recommend heading inland to the village of Apodoulou, where you’ll find a taverna serving authentic Cretan cuisine!
*This trip is ideal for the summer months—specifically from April to October—when Agia Galini comes to life.
But if you're a winter swimmer, you can still enjoy it even when the temperatures drop. Either way, the taverna we recommend stays open all year round!
Starting Point: Agia Galini
Once a fishing village, Agia Galini has transformed into a tourist resort. It offers a variety of accommodation options, stunning beaches, and numerous opportunities for nearby excursions.
For a swim, the main beach of Agia Galini is ideal. It’s equipped with sunbeds and everything else you might need.
Here, you also have the chance to try watersports. Why not test your luck at kayaking and add a little adventure to your day?
Next Stop: Apodoulou
A 15-minute drive will take you to Apodoulou, where you can escape the hustle of tourism and experience the authentic side of Crete.
Indulge in traditional flavors at Ambadia Café, located in the village. The owners are livestock farmers, so don’t miss the chance to try their lamb and homemade cheese!
