The entrance to Agia Galini harbour

The seaside resort is west of the centre of the bay of Mesara, in the south of Crete.

The village and harbour are easily identified as the hotels and houses of the village are built on the hills of the gorge.

The harbour is in front of the village. The new harbour provides good shelter in all weather conditions with stern-to, bow-to and alongside moorings. There is a light on the SW corner of the harbour wall. In the winter ther are very strong winds that limit use of the harbour. The village has good shopping for provisions and fuel may be purchased. There are also many hotels and tavernas. There are Harbour Police and Customs authorities. There is also a doctor, dentist, and pharmacy. Post and international telephone services are available. There is a ramp in the harbour for small boats.
