Agia Galini beach (past the river)
Situated at a distance of 58 kilometers far from Rethymnon at the Southeast and 2-3 kilometers from Agia Galini at the East, the beach past the river is long with big pebbles and a rocky seabed, good for snorkelling. It is affected by the winds. It is ideal for a quiet swim, far from the crowds of people in Agia Galini, and it is nudism tolerant.

The beach does not offer any accommodation facilities; food and drink and facilities for swimming, sunbathing and sea sports are not available

Access from Rethymnon is possible by public bus up to Agia Galini and then by car, motorbike or on foot. Of course, you can reach the beach by rented and private car and motorbike.
