About the area: Chora Sfakion is one of the prettiest villages on Crete. Seeped in history, this quiet, coastal fishing village offers the perfect place for peace and relaxation. Far from the mass tourism often encountered on Crete’s northern coast, this is an area where you can explore Crete off the beaten track, or just spend your holiday unwinding and enjoying the crystal clear sea and the scenery. Lovely stone and whitewashed houses adorn the hillsides surrounding the old harbor, and along the seaside promenade there is a good selection of shops, restaurants with excellent food, and cafes.
Chora Sfakion is the perfect starting point for exploring the beautiful south coast of Crete. The area has countless opportunities for hiking and exploring the stunning and awe-inspiring ravines and mountains.

From Sfakia one can glimpse the islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, 22 nautical miles south of Crete. Gavdos with its 50 inhabitants is a small, beautiful green island with unforgettable sandy beaches and views. You can reach Gavdos by ferry or by an organized boat trip.
Notos Mare Marine Adventures in the innermost part of the new harbor offers diving lessons, boat rentals to explore the local coast, organized boat trips with a guide who can show you the most beautiful beaches of this stretch of coast, taxi-boat transfers for day trips to secluded beaches or the village of Loutro only accessible by boat.

About the host
Hosted by Alexandra Papamarkaki Isaksen
I’m half Greek (from Crete) and half Norwegian. I speak fluent English, Norwegian, and Greek, and have lived and worked on Crete for many years. I started my company ALMYRA in 2010 with rental properties mainly on Crete. My previous background is real estate sales and development on Crete. I have chosen the properties with which I work based on my personal and selective criteria for a perfect holiday villa on this amazingly beautiful island. I wish you a wonderful holiday and will do my utmost to make it so!
