Rethymno town and the surrounding coast to Agia Galini and the surrounding south coast.
Agia Galini sits where the south coast turns towards the Messara plain, a steep little harbour town with the road dropping into it. From Rethymno it is a cross-island run, and one that public transport handles poorly.

Why people take this route
Agia Galini is a common base for the southern side of the island, and it is awkward to reach from the north coast by bus. Most people making this journey are either starting or ending a stay there, or moving between two halves of a trip.
The route crosses the island through the Amari valley country, which is a good deal more interesting than the coast road in either direction.
One practical warning
Agia Galini is built on a slope with a harbour at the bottom and a good deal of the town on steps. Vehicle access is genuinely limited in places, so where the car can reach depends on your address.
Send us the exact accommodation when you enquire and we will tell you honestly where the drop-off will be and how far you will be carrying bags.

Questions people actually ask
Can the car reach our accommodation in Agia Galini?
That depends where it is. The town is steep and parts of it are reached on foot or by steps. Give us the exact address when you enquire and we will tell you where the vehicle can realistically stop before you book.
Is it easier to reach Agia Galini from Heraklion or Rethymno?
Both are workable, and which is shorter depends on where exactly you are starting. If you are choosing an airport for a stay in Agia Galini, tell us and we will compare the two honestly rather than steer you to the longer one.
