Back to newsThe coast guard station at Agia Galini, a small fishing village and tourist port on the south coast of Crete, is facing reported operational problems and resource shortages. The local Personnel Union has formally intervened to highlight the deficiencies, signaling that staffing or equipment gaps may be affecting the station's capacity to function effectively. Agia Galini is a popular destination for visitors seeking a quieter alternative to busier resorts, with boat trips departing from its harbor to nearby beaches and the island of Paximadia. While no immediate safety alerts have been issued, tourists using the port for sea excursions should stay informed through local operators about any disruptions to maritime services. The union's intervention suggests the issues are expected to be addressed through official channels.
