We had the warmest of welcomes from Stavroula and her mum and probably the best view from any building in Sfakia. It's difficult to drag yourself away from the big terrace but there are local walks and small ferries just minutes away to take you to lovely Loutro or peaceful Sweetwater etc.
2 great bakeries a stroll away for breakfast treats and also a couple of mini markets for local produce if you want to rustle stuff up in the well equipped mini kitchen.
It's a short steep walk uphill from the ferry or nearby bus stop, or you can zig zag down through the village where there are a couple of little beaches and a port lined with inviting restaurants.
