Agia Galini, Plakia, Crete

Just because it’s sleepy, doesn’t mean it isn’t interesting

Agia Galini (literally meaning Saint Peace) at Plakias, Crete, is the beach of a small sleepy fishing village in southern Crete. Surrounded by sea-caves and not far from the ancient sites of Phaistos, Agia Triada and Gortyna, the place makes for an ideal family destination
