The ferry vessel MARIA T. has been chartered to operate on the Chora Sfakion to Gavdos route, replacing or supplementing the usual passenger service temporarily. The charter is specifically for transporting heavy cargo and trucks needed for ongoing construction and infrastructure works on Gavdos island. Gavdos, located south of Crete, is the southernmost point of Europe and a popular destination for travelers seeking remote beaches and a quiet escape. Tourists planning to visit Gavdos should check current ferry schedules in advance, as the presence of cargo operations on this route may affect available passenger departures from Chora Sfakion. The port of Chora Sfakion is accessible by car or bus from Chania, roughly a 1.5-hour drive through the White Mountains.
