Charming old village in Crete

#mediterranean #greece #crete Hora Sfakion is a small coastal village on Crete’s south coast, and it has a very authentic, local feel. It’s the main gateway to places like Loutro and Agia Roumeli, so there are boats coming and going all day, but the village itself is quiet and relaxed. The little harbor is lovely, with a row of tavernas right by the water where you can sit, eat fresh seafood, and watch the ferries and fishing boats. There’s also a small beach if you want to swim while waiting for your boat. I liked walking through the narrow streets behind the waterfront — they’re simple but charming, with a few small shops and cafés. It’s a good place to stop, grab a meal, and enjoy the slower rhythm of this part of Crete.
