The region of Sfakia extends approximately from Agia Roumeli
(and even further to the West) to Frangokastello (and a littlebeyond) along the South
coast of Crete. To the North 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.
