In a small bay 17 km along the coastal road to the east of Ierapetra is the village of Achlia, situated alongside the beach. Galini studios have the sea literally on their doorstep. There is a long veranda in front of the four adjoining studios, with a trellis overhanging with grapevines.

Each studio, for 2 people and a child, is about 27sqm in size and is simple and practical. The studios have a living/bedroom with a double and a single bed, a small kitchenette and a bathroom with small bath/WC. From each studio there are pretty views out over the sea and countryside. Air conditioning is available, at an extra charge and the studios are also fitted with TV and hairdryer.  Within 100 metres across the shingle beach there are a couple of tavernas and there is a mini market which is about 650 metres away.

The area is not densely populated having only a few houses here and there, so one can unwind and relax in peaceful surroundings. In the neighbouring villages, of Ferma (3,5 km) and Koutsouras (4,5 km) more shops and tavernas can be found. A bus runs along the road between Ierapetra and Sitia 7 times each day, and the bus stop is only 100 metres from the studios. A car is recommended.
