Atmosphere:   Very Cretan and very quiet. It feels a little like you are at the end of the world.

Accommodation:   You can fin some rooms in the village.

Restaurants:   A few tavernas in the village and by the beach.

Shopping:   Limited

Nightlife:   None

Beach:  A pebble beach with tamarisk trees. Camping is allowed on the beach. Sfinari can get pretty windy.
