Agia Kiriaki
Στα νότια του βενζινάδικου BP, ακολουθώντας το δρόµο προς το Φραγκοκάστελλο, και πίσω από το βενζινάδικο ακολουθούµε ένα µονοπάτι κατευθείαν προς το νοτιά. Στη βόρεια πλευρά ενός µεγάλου ανοίγµατος που µοιάζει µε πηγάδι, προς τηθάλασσα, υπάρχει ένα µικρό σπήλαιο όπου κάποτε υπήρχε ένας ναός της Αγίας Κυριακής. Σήµερα δεν φαίνονται ίχνη αυτού του ναού, αλλά ο Γάλλος καθηγητής, αρχαιολόγος και σπηλαιολόγος Paul Faure, ο οποίος µελέτησε τα σπήλαια της Κρήτης, µας λέει ότι βρήκε ίχνη Χριστιανικού ναού µέσα σε αυτό το σπήλαιο, όταν το επισκέφθηκε γύρω στα 1960 - 1970.

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.
