Small village with some tavernas and rent rooms. From here you can start descending the beautiful Imbros Gorge, ending in Komitades (about two hours), or start some mountain biking, towards Akones peak - Asfendou - Kallikratis - Assigonia.
The Imbros Gorge was till late sixties the only way to reach the south coast of Sfakia. It was a natural shelter against invaders, like the Turks and later the Germans.
The gorge is as beautiful as the Samaria Gorge, only on a smaller scale. And it is by far more quiet, not having the crowds from there. Many wild trees can be seen, as well as a Venetian reservoir in the middle and a natural archway at the end. The gorge becomes very narrow on two spots, with spectacular views.
