"Europe is the heart of the world, Greece the heart of Europe, Crete the heart of Greece," they say in Sfakia, which is what the locals call their town. The Sfakiots are very proud people who over the centuries were never really taken over by the occupying forces of Crete. Proud Cretans with their long boots are still in evidence here. The ferries from Sfakia go to Loutro (a non-street-connected coastal Village), to Sougia, and brings the Samaria Hikers from Agia Roumeli (also a non-street-connected village ) to sfakia. There is also a connection to the Island Gavdos.
The inland of Sfakia is terrific. One of Crete´s most beautiful serpentines winds up to the Askifou Plateau (see photos). It is a paradise for hikers (Imbros Gorge) and mountain bikers. There are a few small hideaway- hotels we offer in this area.
