Ασφένδου
The Gorge of Asfendos in Sfakia is a small but beautiful gorge and it starts southern from the Sfakian mountain village called Asfendos, situated at an altitude of 620 m and a distance of 45 km from Chania city.
Four kilometres of cobbled path dropping steeply in places down an open gorge. I often wonder who built these ancient cobbled ways which still provide excellent walking routes through this rocky landscape.
Follow the path that leads south away from the village down the valley.

Asfendou plateau is about 63 kilometres from Chania, at an altitude of 770 metres, and is part of the area known as Sfakia in southwest Crete. It is surrounded by the White Mountains (Lefka Ori).
The road goes through a desolate landscape of steep mountains, small rocky hills, and small fields full of stones. The first village driving from Imbros (west) you will encounter are Asfendou village and plateau. The area is almost entirely deserted, but the stone houses still hold, probably because they are maintained by the shepherds who continue to bring their flocks in the area. The Sfakian village of Asfendou is located in this small and fertile plateau, 8 km from Imbros and 7km from Kalikratis village to east.It has approximately 40 houses and it is inhabited mainly during the summer. In the south of the village, in a small cave, frescoes on the rock have been brought to light, depicting hunting scenes and wild animals. From here through the beautiful ravine (gorge) of Asfendou the visitor can reach the Sfakian village of Vouvas within a 2 hours walk.
Το σπήλαιο "Ασφένδου" βρίσκεται στη θέση "Σκορδολάκια", στο βορειοανατολικό τμήμα της απαρχής του φαραγγιού του Ασφένδου.
Πρόκειται για βραχοσκεπή στο ασβεστολιθικό δάπεδο της οποίας, κοντά στην είσοδο, υπάρχουν βραχογραφίες που παριστάνουν εικονιστικά θέματα (χαράγματα ζώων - θηραμάτων, παράσταση τόξου με βέλος, δέντρου, πλοίου, καμάκι, χιαστί ακόντια ή κουπιά) και αφηρημένα σύμβολα. Η θεματολογία και ο τρόπος εγχάραξης έχουν οδηγήσει ερευνητές να τα χρονολογήσουν στην προϊστορική περίοδο.
The gorge ends in the village of Kapsodasos, at an altitude of 120 m and at a distance of 9 km from Chora Sfakion and 5km far from Fragokastello and after 3,5 hours of walking.
Ξεκινάει από το ύψωμα Ακονές του χωριού Ασφένδου, έχει στενές πόρτες και άγριους γκρεμούς. Το φαράγγι αυτό είναι μεγάλου βαθμού δυσκολίας και για τη διάβασή του χρειάζεται ειδικός εξοπλισμός ορειβασίας (σχοινιά κτλ.). Το φαράγγι καταλήγει στο χωριό Νομικιανά, έπειτα από πεζοπορία τεσσάρων ωρών.

Before reaching the peak, the road continues to the village of Asfendou, built on a small and evergreen plain, at an altitude of 770 meters, 8 km. from Imbros. It has 40 houses and during summer only a few farmers make their way up here.
East of the village, in a small cave, many beautiful frescoes have been discovered. If you continue to the east for 6 km you reach the village of Kallikratis. In Asfendou you can also visit the Falaggari cave, which is very deep and contains a water basin.You can walk down the Asfendou gorge towards Agios Giorgos/ Agios Nektarios, but this is a quit difficult walk.
Ask for information locally first! The gorge itself will take you about 90 minutes, from 770 meters to 180 meters, so very steep.
Άγιος Νεκτάριος. Είναι μικρό χωριό στο δρόμο προς το Φραγκοκάστελλο, οι κάτοικοι του μετοίκησαν από το χωριό Κολοκάσια(αφού πρώτα το είχαν μετονόμασει σε Άγιο Γεώργιο).
