Charlie’s Place, Agia Galini, Crete

Charlie’s Place is an incredible taverna to go too and well worth a visit.
Set in a beautiful location, easy to drive too and also a lovely walk from Agia Galini beach front or main village.
The food is excellent and atmosphere wonderful.
What makes this place extra special is Charlie, Charlie does EVERYTHING on his own and it is amazing, from the moment you arrive, Charlie is there to great you, to take your order, cook the food, serve the food and drinks and then of course have a raki at the end of your meal.
And this is only the things we see, when lights are out, Charlie then cleans everything in preparation for the next night and then prepares all of the delicious food for when he opens at 6pm.
I honestly do not know how he does it, Charlie is AMAZING!
Visit Charlie’s Place to forget time, enjoy a relaxing meal and take the scenery in.
P.S - I met a lovely couple at Charlie’s, it happened all very quickly and they said such lovely things and we had a photo together. I am sorry but I didn’t get a contact for them and their names. So if you are reading this, please send me a message. Meeting really made my day, thank you for your lovely words 🥰

Hi great video , is it walkable from the main road ?

[@JustBirnieAdventures]

Thank you so much for your message.
Depends where you are coming from but there are smaller roads pretty much linking all of Galini so you don’t need to walk on the main road.
When you get to the Bridge on the main road near the petrol station you just cross over the main road and you follow the dirt track.
it’s very easy and as an example at a reasonable pace it took my friends 15min from Plazza Greco Hotel only using small roads and then only crossing the main road by the bridge.
Have a wonderful week 🌞

@@JustBirnieAdventures Didnt Charlies place used to be in the village ? Visiting the Lamb restaraunt near Matala when we arrive in Galini next week , thanks

[@JustBirnieAdventures]

Thank you so much for your lovely message. Where ever you are in Agia Galini you can find a small road and walk to the large bridge on the main road and then just cross over, a nicer walk than going on the main road.
A friend of mine was staying at Plazzo Greco Hotel and it took her 15 min but she is a fast walker!
Have a great time if you go 🌞
