The region of Sfakia - Page 1

The region of Sfakia extends roughly from Agia Roumeli (and even further to the West) to Frangokastello (a a littlebeyond) along the South coast of Crete. To see a map click here. To the North we could say that it encompasses most of the central Lefka Ori or White Mountains.
Sfakia is one of the last unspoilt areas of Crete and its inhabitants are fiercely independent and traditional. Most visitors to Crete know only the coastal areas of the region (Agia Roumeli, Loutro and Hora Sfakion) but the region consists mainly of mountainous areas and high plateaus and the Sfakians feel much more at home high up than by the sea.

This gallery doesn't include many photos of the mountains as you can see those in other sections of the site such as The White Mountains in summer and the White Mountains in winter.

This first page starts with the villages of Anopolis and Aradena.
