Chore sfakion is a cute little village. We stayed one night at Sofia's lovely home, nice place and friendly staff! If you come by car, please park before the restaurant street. There is a beach with a tavern. There are several restaurants in the village. Many boats to different beaches along the south coast and also to Gavdos. You get a little "Mamma mia" feeling in the village because it's easy to imagine a cheerful dancing group from one of the ferries and her hotel somewhere along the mountainside.. 😄

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the charm of Chora Sfakion and its beautiful seaside atmosphere. With its picturesque harbor, stunning coastal views, and easy access to some of the most spectacular beaches along the south coast, it is a truly special place to visit.
It’s lovely to know that you had an enjoyable stay and took the opportunity to explore the area at your own pace. Your description perfectly captures the unique character and relaxed spirit of this beautiful corner of Crete.

Wonderful Experience and best thing to do on holiday
This was the best thing for me and my grandma. Everything was perfectly organized and the trip itself was my favorite part about my holiday on Crete. Cretan impressions is the best name for this tour as you really get a good sense about Cretan culture. The guide was absolutely incredible and her stories were amazing. You could tell the whole bus was listening to her speak because it was simply that enjoyable. Be prepared to be enchanted by the south coast of Crete, the food and the landscape. It is worth all the money.

Beautiful round trip
We really enjoyed this beautiful round trip with our very nice tour guide Sonja.
She knew many interesting things to share, and the tour took us to picturesque places.
There was also time to explore on our own.
We highly recommend this tour.

An all-round successful holiday in Crete
Our guide Sonja provided us with a lot of interesting information and gave an insight into the history of the country, nature, traditions, etc. We enjoyed this trip, it was well planned and everything went smoothly. The bus driver Kosta drove us safely through the day. The impressions of the country will be remembered fondly.

Between sales tour and photo stops
Were totally disappointed, first stop at a “kiosk” in the middle of nowhere, where half a slice of bread, a cheese stick and a drop of honey were served “for tasting”, which could of course be bought afterwards. Afterwards there were short photo tops and a coffee stop where the advertising drum was beaten again beforehand for a cafe and its cake. We wondered if there was a commission for both stops..... Then we came to lunch after more photo stops. There we had two hours stay in which we could go out for dinner or bathing. Although the beach and the way to it were not described in more detail. We just had time to find a nice tavern and enjoy the delicious very good food, so we had to go again. On the way home through a gorge we were told of beautiful waterfalls which we could not visit anymore because the police monitor the parking time and the path is also still closed. So we stopped somewhere in the gorge for 5 minutes and could look at the circling vultures. We were then also home 45 minutes earlier than stated. All in all disappointing and not recommended.

Dear Marcus,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide memorable and enjoyable tours, and it is disappointing to hear that you felt otherwise.
Regarding the stops, We'd like to offer some clarification. Our first stop is in the village of Krapi, near the Askifou plateau, where guests have a short break for restrooms and refreshments. While there are traditional products available for tasting, such as olive oil, cheese, honey, wine, and sausage, there is absolutely no obligation to purchase anything, and we ensure there is no pressure to do so. Many of our guests appreciate this stop as a way to experience local flavors, and we’ve generally received positive comments about it.
At Chora Sfakion, guests are given free time to explore and relax. We trust our guests to make the most of their time and choose activities that suit their preferences. The lunch stop in Plakias provides about 2–2.5 hours for dining and swimming, so we’re sorry to hear that you felt rushed. We encourage everyone to enjoy the beach and the local tavernas at their own pace.
As for the stop at Kourtaliotiko, due to restrictions, we are unfortunately no longer permitted to descend the steps, but we still aim to offer a memorable photo opportunity.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope to see you again soon.
Thank you again for your review.
