Back to newsThe Mayor of Sfakia recently attended a regional seminar focused on the vulnerability of Cretan coastlines to flooding and extreme weather events. The discussion centered on the Sfakia municipality, a rugged coastal area in southwestern Crete known for its dramatic gorges, remote beaches, and traditional villages. Authorities are assessing flood risks along local shores to better protect infrastructure and communities. The mayor also held a separate meeting with Archbishop of Crete Evgenios. For visitors, Sfakia remains a popular destination for hiking the Samaria Gorge and reaching beaches accessible only by boat. Travelers planning trips to this area, particularly during autumn and winter, should monitor local weather conditions, as coastal roads can be affected by heavy rain and seasonal flooding.
