Sfakia
(Chora Sfakion)
Chora
Sfakion is a peaceful tiny village with a small beach and pretty
little natural harbour with fishing boats, overlooked by tiered
houses, and tavernas which front the sea. It is the central
town for  the
region known as Sfakia, which is renowned for
its proud and fierce people, whosehospitality is as large as
their reputation. Sfakiots struggled to retaintheir freedom
from the Venetian, Turkish and German occupations, throughout
the centuries and with one look at this largely mountainous
area on thesouth-west coast, you know it to be untameable.
Thousands of troops were evacuated from here to North Africa
after the Battle for Crete in 1941.
Ferry boats arrive and leave the harbour each day to go to other
villages and towns along to the west, and late each afternoon,
in the summer months, they start arriving with the weary walkers
from the Samaria Gorge. The walkers quickly go on their
way, to once again let the village sink into its peaceful reverie.
