Overview

The "War Tunnel" in Agia Galini, Crete, is a historical site with connections to World War II. The tunnel dates back to the period of the German occupation of Crete during World War II (1941-1945). It was likely constructed by the German forces for strategic purposes, possibly as a shelter, storage area, or communication route. It's situated in Agia Galini, and along the cliffside as you walk down towards the beach.
