  • War Museum Askifou
    Begin your cultural deep dive with a visit to a private war museum in the heart of Sfakia. This hidden gem features a personal collection of artifacts from WWII and Crete’s resistance era. From old weapons and uniforms to intimate photographs and handwritten notes, the exhibit tells powerful stories of courage and defiance. It’s an emotional, eye-opening introduction to the spirit of Sfakia and its enduring fight for freedom.
  • Imbros Gorge
    Venture next into the wild beauty of Imbros Gorge, one of Crete’s iconic natural landmarks. This relatively gentle yet dramatic hike winds through narrow canyon walls, sculpted rock faces, and lush vegetation. Your host will guide you along the trail, sharing local legends and ecological insights. Easier than the Samaria Gorge but just as scenic, Imbros offers a peaceful, awe-inspiring walk for all hiking levels.
  • If desired, your host can recommend a stop at a traditional mountain taverna for an authentic local lunch. Enjoy Cretan specialties like fresh vegetables, Sfakian pies, and grilled meats or seafood, all with panoramic views. Meals and drinks are not included in the tour price but can be purchased directly at the venue. The timing and menu are flexible based on your preference.
  • Ilingas Beach
    End your day at Iligas Beach, a secluded coastal spot where turquoise waters meet dramatic cliffs and natural sea caves. This peaceful location is perfect for swimming, relaxing, or exploring the rocky shoreline. It’s a hidden gem on Crete’s south coast—uncrowded, raw, and beautifully untouched.
