The rocks near Agia Galini have been shaped by wind and water into strange forms, some looking like animals or faces. The area is worth a short stop when exploring the south coast of Rethymno.
The area of Apoplystra lies on the south coast of Rethymno, near Agia Galini and Melambes. The rocks, shaped by wind and water over thousands of years, form strange shapes that look like sculptures. It's a quiet place for a short walk and photos.
Agios Vasileios is the south coast of Rethymno, a land of gorges, palm trees and beautiful beaches on the Libyan Sea. Plakias and Agia Galini are the main villages, and between them lie Preveli with its palm forest, Damnoni, Triopetra and Agios Pavlos with its sand dunes. Inland, Spili with its lion fountain and the Kourtaliotiko and Kotsifou gorges are worth a stop. The south coast is often calmer when the north wind blows, and the sea is warm well into autumn.
Rethymno sits between the mountains and two seas, and it is the easiest region to combine with the rest of the island. Its old town and Fortezza are among the best preserved on Crete, with Venetian doorways, Ottoman wooden balconies and a long sandy beach right next to the centre. Περισσότερα για Ρέθυμνο
