Agia Marina is a delightful village situated on the northwest coast of Crete just 9km from the city of Chania. It took its name from the church which is located on the small hill of the old village. Its long sandy beaches and crystal clear waters make it an ideal holiday location for young and old alike. The fine golden sand blended with the trees along the shoreline make for truly exotic surroundings.

To the north of the beach and at a distance of only 400m one can admire the small island of St. Theodor. It symbolizes the local holy guardian. In the ancient times the little island was considered to be a great monster coming from the sea, with it's mouth wide open to swallow the nearby village of Agia Marina. Poseidon, the god of the sea transformed the monster into a rock to save the village. According to mythology the golden color of the sand was created by the flames that came from the mouth of the terrible monster.
