Swimming in Sfakia

swim in crystal clear waters

Crete has plenty of remarkable beaches but South Crete It features the most unique ones. Here in Chora Sfakion, right next to our hotel (100m) we have Vrissi, which is found on the west side of the community, directly beyond the breakwater and features crystal clear waters along with beautiful stones. Rental sunbeds, and umbrellas can also be found for your convenience.

Close by, you can find Ilingas, a stunning beach with turquoise waters and breath-taking sea caves and Glyka Nera (Sweetwater Beach) one of Crete's most exquisite beaches, featuring lovely stones and a rich blue sea color and listed by the London Times as one of the top 20 in Europe. In most cases, a boat is the only way to reach Glyka Nera but there is a road that leads here from Chora Sfakion for those who are more daring and adventurous. Of course, the walkway is secure since local authorities often maintain it.

Another worth mentioning entry would also be Frangokastello Beach one of the most fascinating places in Crete. A well-kept beach with umbrellas and sunbeds, clear water, and fish taverns, situated directly in front of the renowned Frangokastello, a Venetian Castle, as well as a little tourist community.

Don't miss the chance to experience the exhilaration of swimming in Sfakia, where the pristine waters of Crete await your plunge into a world of aquatic bliss.
