MAINLAND OF SFAKIA
Home to the Cretan vendetta, Sfakia is where you will see tight lipped Cretans dressed in black. The fighting attitude of the inhabitants deployed through history, since they were actively and decisively involved in all the revolution of the Greek nation.
740 metres up on the north face of Mount Psiloritis in prefecture of Rethymno lies proudly Anogia. A village with a history that is powerful and tragic at the same time. Burned by the Turks in 1822 and by the Germans in 1944,this village has a heroic story to tell.
It is one of the last natural paradises of Crete. The visitors usually reach it via Kastelli in Kissamos, as part of a boat tour, passing first through the island of Gramvoussa.
Heraklion is not just a city in the next visitor’s destination. Expresses something more, something deeper, a history of thousands of years. With this thought must learn the traveler to "read" the area beyond the mundane habits that require a visit to museums or at Knossos.
