Hora Sfakion in Sfakia west Crete - Chania region. Hóra Sfakíon (Greek: Χώρα Σφακίων) or Sfakia is a town on the south coast of Crete, Greece. It is the capital of the remote and mountainous region of Sfakiá, and is a small town of just 278 inhabitants (2001 census). It lies on the south coast near the end of the Imbros Gorge, 74km south of Chania. It has two small harbours, where the ferry boats from Agia Roumeli dock, which in the summer bring the hikers from the Samaria Gorge to take buses back to the northern coast. From Hora Sfakion ferries also run to the nearby coastal town of Loutro and the island of Gavdos.
Hora Sfakion is a small village with a main harbourfront of tavernas, two minimarkets, a butcher and a bakery. There is a quiet local beach immediately West of the village, and several pebbly beaches nearby. The town offers a variety of tourist accommodation: rooms, studios and apartments. The local economy is based on tourism, fishing, olive oil production and sheep and goat herdering.
Hóra Sfakíon prospered during the Venetian and Turkish occupations and up to the 18th century carried on a flourishing trade with its own small fleet. It was said to have had a hundred churches but the town suffered badly from wartime bombardment during and after the Allied evacuation at the end of the Battle of Crete.
Hóra Sfakíon is famous as one of the centers of resistance against the occupying forces of both the Venetians and the Turks. The impenetrable White Mountains to the north combined with the rocky beaches on the south helped the locals fight off all invaders. Anopolis, a village near Hóra Sfakíon, is the birthplace of one of the most celebrated Cretan revolutionaries, Daskalogiannis.

The beach Filaki is located on the south coast of Crete, close to Chora Sfakion village and 79km south from Chania town.
To get to the beach, at about 500 m before entering Chora Sfakion you’ll see a road to the left which takes you to Hotel Vritomartis. On the left of this street you’ll see another small street which will take you to the beach. The hotel and the beach is nudist friendly (and is the only one of this kind in Greece). Filaki Beach (and the small Vritomatis Beach some hundred meters to west) is the only official nude beach in Crete. While the nudist-friendly beaches can briefly turn into clothing-required beaches – particularly in July and August – Filaki Beach is a nude beach during the entire summer season. The beach is separated into two parts: half for naturists, half for everyone else. There’s also a shuttle bus running from the hotel to the beach at regular intervals.
On the beach you’ll find a bar (operated by the hotel). You can also rent umbrellas and sun beds. If you feel like exploring the surrounding waters, you can rent a canoe.
