Excursion info

Imbros Gorge, close to Chora Sfakia, is the second most popular gorge on Crete after Samaria. During the high season hundreds of walkers visit daily to make the trek through the valley. The walk is not particularly strenuous and can be completed in 2-3 hours. The scenery is beautiful and the relative easiness of the hike makes it an ideal walk for families with children.Chora Sfakion (or Hora Sfakion) is the capital of the district of Sfakia, one of the wildest and most scenic regions of Crete. 
The village is located in beautiful surroundings and is an excellent starting point to explore the south coast of Crete.

Frangokastello is the location of a castle and scattered settlement on the south coast of Crete, Greece, about 12 km. east of Chora Sfakion.It has an extensive, sheltered and gently shelving sandy beach, which has provided the basis for a low key tourist industry in recent years. Tourist accommodation is scattered over the flat plain around the castle, but the area's relative remoteness has discouraged major development.
