Galipe (, pronounced “Galipae”) is a village in the municipali unit of Episkopi's, Hersonissos municipality in the regional unit of Heraklion, Crete, Greece.

The population of the village is 97 inhabitants, according to the census of 2011.

== History and statistics== The oldest mention of the village is found during the Venetian occupation, in the 1299 treaty between Venice and the leader of the rebels, Alexis Kalergis, as a protectorate of Jano Michael. However, the village should be much earlier. This is justified by its Arabic origin name, which is traced before the 2nd Byzantine period. It is also referred to a record of the 1368's Ducal Archive of Chantakas (Heraklion) as a protectorate of Petro Zampani, who passed it over to his son, Marinello.
