Greek Harbor by nubby

Painting of my origin pic made in Aglia Galini Harbor.

During the Minoan civilization (c.3000BC—c.1450BC) the village used to be a city called Soulia or Soulina, and was the port of ancient Syvritos.

There are several competing origins for the source of Galini's name. According to the Greek Orthodox Church, Agia Galini (St. Galini) is said to have been martyred in Corinth in the 3rd century AD with her feast-day being celebrated on the 16th of April, and it is possible that the village was named after her.

Agia Galini is a large village, which occupies the extreme SE. end of Rethymno regional unit to the Libyan Sea. Located at the limits of Heraklion prefecture, built amphitheatrical on an east faced rocky extreme, and it has a great environment and a wonderful climate
