About Agia Marina
Agia Marina is a community of roughly 1,700 residents on Crete's north coast, next door to Platanias, and both are tourist destinations with busy summer bars and restaurants. The homes are not all in the town itself. They are spread over around 11 km, and the middle of the group sits a few kilometres east of the village, toward Chania, so expect to be along and behind the coast rather than on the seafront. Most have a private pool and air conditioning, and typical houses are big, with several bedrooms and room for eight or more. Chania's Venetian harbour, with its lighthouse, cafes and nightlife, is the main evening outing. The warm season runs from April to October.
Is Agia Marina right for you?
- Best for
- Groups wanting a home with a pool between Chania and the western beaches
- Not for you if
- You want a village with a quiet August or a walkable centre from your door.

Spring and autumn suit sightseeing and the coast, while winter brings rain.
