| Sfakiano gorge in Sfakia, west Crete |
|
You can visit it in two ways: a) From the Porolagko, situated southwards at a distance of 2 km from Chora Sfakion on the asphalt road to Chania city. Up to the end of the gorge, the distance is 6,5 km and the walking on the watercourse is very smooth and lasts 3,5 hours including the return. At the end of the passage northwards, on a small elevation, there is an old sheepfold. You will also meet the little chapel of Apostle Paul that was built by the Sfakians in 1407. b) From the village of Imbros in Sfakia, you walk for two hours before reaching the very beautiful cattlemen village called Kali Lakki that has been abandoned for years now. After walking for about half an hour from there, you meet the aforementioned chapel of Apostle Paul, and then walk on for another two hours before meeting the way out to the asphalt road.
Hiking with the Naturalist Club Heraklion (fysi.gr):
In the south of Chania Prefecture walked our association (Naturalist Club Heraklion). We met another gorge in Sfakia region, the 'Sfakiano', which crosses the county and is located between Imbros gorge to east and Kavis gorge to west. Photos by the Naturalist Club Heraklion - Fysi.gr The Video:
If you want to enter the Sfakiano gorge from the level of Agios Pavlos chapel: You should take the westward road by the church at Imbros village center. After about 3.6 km it makes a sharp right turn, at this point you should choose a road to the left (southward). Walk about 20 minutes by this second road and you will find an iron chain across the road descending to the chapel and to Sfakiano gorge.
