Imbros Village
Live the unknown
In a scenic plateau at 780 meters altitude, Imbros Village is a peaceful and authentic corner of Crete. Known for its traditional architecture, friendly locals, and stunning natural surroundings, Imbros offers a refreshing escape from the hustle of modern life. Wake up to crisp mountain air, hear the echo of goat bells across the valley, and enjoy locally made dishes at a nearby taverna just 130 meters from the villas. The world-famous Imbros Gorge starts here, offering one of Crete’s most accessible and beautiful hikes through limestone cliffs and wild flora.
South Crete
Wild, Authentic, Untouched
The south of Crete offers a completely different experience than the busy northern coast. Here, dramatic gorges, secret beaches, ancient paths, and sleepy villages await discovery. The region is perfect for adventurous travelers looking for hikes, history, and hidden coves. You’ll find local culture alive and well—from shepherds tending flocks on the slopes to bakers kneading bread with heirloom recipes. South Crete is not just a destination; it’s a feeling—raw, welcoming, and undeniably free.
Accessible by ferry, Agia Roumeli is a coastal village at the mouth of the world-renowned Samaria Gorge. Remote and peaceful, it’s a haven for hikers finishing the trek and for visitors seeking a quiet beach backed by towering cliffs. With no roads leading in, Agia Roumeli remains delightfully isolated—a true Cretan escape with a raw, natural beauty.
Fortress by the Sea
The legendary Frangokastello, a 14th-century Venetian fortress, stands guard over a wide stretch of sandy beach on the southern coast. It’s not only a photographer’s dream but also a place steeped in local folklore—including the mysterious Drosoulites, or “dew men,” ghostly figures said to appear at dawn. The area around the fortress offers shallow, family-friendly waters, making it a great stop for history lovers and beachgoers alike.
The Spirit of Crete’s South
Just a short drive down the winding road lies Hora Sfakion, the historic heart of the Sfakia region. Known for its fierce independence and rich history, Sfakia is where you’ll find unspoiled beaches, rustic tavernas, and stories that stretch back to the Minoans and Venetian pirates. Enjoy a relaxed seaside meal, take a ferry to nearby villages, or explore the wild coast by boat. This is the rugged, real Crete—where mountains meet the sea and tradition still shapes daily life.
