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.

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.

Wunderbar
Gute Ausstattung, sehr sauber, tolle Betten, sehr netter Vermieter und dessen verwandte Helfer. Unglaublich weiter Blick ins Lybische Meer, schöner Pool, ideal zum Ausspannen. Tipp: Der Vermieter betreibt u.a. eine Taverne, die in ca. fünf Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar ist und bietet dort einheimische Gerichte an.

Modern, cosy and bright house in calm beautiful area of crete
I spent 5 nights in this beautifully furnitures house. Everything was clean, new, essentially the beds are super comfortable. The house has a nice terrace overlooking the coastline. The main street is not far away, yet there was so fee traffic that you almost forget it is there. The pool has a decent size, but there are couple of calm bay beaches just 5 min away by car. The village is a short walk down the steep street, by car also just 4 min. Overall a great place for everyone who wants to dodge the crowded places of the north and send some time realxing.

Great place to stay
We stayed here for two weeks at this amazing villa. The owner and his family are very friendly and helpful, the villa is new and modern. Location is 2,5 hours driving from Heraklion, but it takes you to beautiful spots in Crete. Super markets close by as well as many tavernas in the harbor. It is at walking distance but a steep climb.
The area is less suitable if you are walking badly.
Cleaning service can be arranged with owners, plenty of towels.
Just some small remarks which are not negatives, but which you should consider before renting. Although the villa is suitable for 8, I think the optimal number is 6. For a eight person villa the dish washer and washing machine is a little small. Not a big issue but should you know.
Fantastic villa!
