Sfakos beach

Sfakos is located 40 km northwest of Chania , on the east coast of the Rhodopos Peninsula, between Menies and Kolymbari . It is one of the most isolated beaches in Crete, as access from land is possible, but very difficult.

Almost exclusively, most people come to it by boat from nearby Kolymbari or other beaches near Chania. It is formed at the exit of the Egremnakas gorge, which, as its name suggests, is completely steep and deep, making the beach almost inaccessible from land.

Sfakos has pebbles and deep waters, while the waves are generally small due to its eastern location.
