Agia Roumeli is in south Crete  in the prefecture of Chania, between Sougia and Loutro. The village is at the exit of the famous Samaria Gorge and is connected only by boat. Walkers who exit the Gorge take the boat from Agia Roumeli to Loutro, Chora Sfakion, Sougia or Paleochora.

In front of Agia Roumeli there is a refreshing pebble beach in a superb setting with the mountains and the mountain caves right behind it.

To the east of Agia Roumeli, near the church of Agios Pavlos, there is a very good beach in a similar setting.
