Excellent excursion. Can recommend! Relaxed schedule! Sfakia is a great place.

Small easy walk, the 2nd part of the gorges is more spectacular than the beginning. Chora sfakion beach is average. Perfect logistics, a little too much talk on the bus. Too bad the toilets are paying at the entrance to the gorges

Must wear good sturdy footwear as all rocks and stones.
