Kolokasia

Kolokasia is a deserted village of Sfakia province, near the exit of the gorge Asfendou and near the village of Agios Nektarios . Its inhabitants mainly abandoned it because of its isolated position and moved to Agios Nektarios .

Today most of the houses are dilapidated and some have been restored by some Germans who bought the ruined houses and restored them. The houses are a live sample of the simple traditional architecture of Sfakia.

The current official name of the village is Agios Georgios , after the old church of Saint George . In the village there is also the churches of Lord Christ and the Virgin Mary , while in a rock shelter near the village there is the cavernous church of Saint Anthony .
