Welcome to paradise in Southern Crete… 🇬🇷✨

📍Sfakiá (Chora Sfakion), Crete, Greece

I just spent two weeks on Crete (the largest Greek island) and stumbled upon a hidden gem: the remote coastal village of Sfakiá.

In Chania, before we set off, the rental car shop worker told us, “You haven’t been to Crete unless you visit Sfakiá.” While a restauranteur (of the best restaurant in Chania, IMO, @toantikristo) said, “As you drive through the mountains, think of me, remember my words. Roll the windows down and smell the wild oregano on the warm sea air.”

Clearly, we were onto something good...

We spent three nights at a beautiful boutique hotel (Eleana Nature & Art). Lazed the days away at the beaches in Sfakiá - as well as in Loutro and at Sweetwater Beach (both reachable only via boat or hiking). Swam in some of the brightest azure waters I’ve ever seen. Sipped Aperol spritzes. And dined on allll the Cretan salads, Sfakian pies, and fresh seafood - from whole-grilled snapper to marinated octopus salad. It was bliss.

Visiting Crete? Add this peaceful beach village to your list!

According to locals, it’s only ever busy in July and August.
