Crete, Greece
Welcome to Crete, one of the most stunning holiday and swimming destinations in the world! Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Agia Galini is a coastal fishing village along the southern coastline of Crete, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas.
Each morning we will wander approximately 400 metres down the hill, taking the narrow cobbled streets of the picturesque village to the pebbled beach that stretches for more than one kilometre. Here we will be greeted by our skipper and transferred by boat to some of the most spectacular swimming destinations in Crete.
​
Our days will be spent swimming along white sandy foreshores in crystal-clear waters, exploring blue caves and appreciating the sealife, all whilst swimming in water temperatures averaging 23 degrees. Not a bad way to spend the days, huh?
​
Upon our return in the afternoon, we will embark on the return trek up the hill to our resort. It may feel a little more tiring than the downward journey but we will be rewarded with a well-deserved drink upon our arrival. In the evenings we will indulge in fresh seafood (or other delicious meals to your liking), in the family-operated restaurants in the village centre.
​
Our last night in Crete will be extra special, as we participate in an adventurous nighttime swim under the full moon. It's a spectacular view as our colourful tow floats light up the water. Swimming by moonlight is a memorable way to spend our last night with our new friends, before returning to a lovingly prepared farewell dinner and reminiscing on the adventures of the past week.

About the Resort
​
Our boutique resort consists of 4 x studios, 1 x junior suite and 1 x executive suite. Each suite has it's own terrace leading out to one of the two private pools.
​
The 4 spacious semi-detached studios offer a comfy double bed and small kitchenette, and a terrace leading out to a common pool.
For individuals who prefer split beds (or enjoy a little more space), we offer a junior suite, and an executive suite. Each suite has its own living area, dining table & chairs, kitchen and terrace. The executive suite is the larger of the two. The suites have individual entries, however, if you're joining as a family or group, there is a dividing door between the two suites that can be locked/unlocked. Each suite has a terrace that provides access to the private pool, only accessible to the two suites.
Built in 2017, the resort is spacious and free from close neighbours, so privacy is guaranteed. We've chosen this location as it's an ideal base for exploring the authentic, quieter southern coast of Crete. The property is located only a short walk (approximately 400-500 metres) to the beach and the village of Agia Galini.
