Officials from the Municipality of Sfakia and the 7th Regional Coast Guard Administration met recently to discuss ongoing developments at the local Coast Guard Station and planned port infrastructure works in the Sfakia area of southern Crete. The meeting confirmed strong cooperation between municipal and maritime authorities on these projects. Sfakia is a remote coastal region on the southern edge of the White Mountains, popular with visitors for its rugged scenery, traditional villages, and access to the Samaria Gorge. Port facilities in this area serve ferry connections between coastal villages including Chora Sfakion, Loutro, and Agia Roumeli. Tourists relying on these boat routes should note that ongoing or future port works may affect ferry schedules. Checking current timetables locally before travel is recommended, particularly for those planning to exit the Samaria Gorge by sea.
