Places near Agios Georgios
As you leave the pine forest in Anopolis village area (Sfakia-Southwest Crete), you will spot a road heading towards the east. If you decide to follow it, you will see that it ends at Mouri after only four or five kilometres. Mouri is a very large village that has unfortunately been abandoned.
Over two hundred houses stand in ruin, and the only buildings in good condition are two shepherd huts and the small village church. This mountain destination is suitable for mountain bike or hiking. There is a hiking path from Chora Sfakion to Mouri village through Kavros settlement.
Ilinga or Iliga or Kavis gorge in Sfakia
The gorge Ilinga - Iliga or Kavis is located between Hora Sfakion and Anopolis village. Lush, beautiful and easy. From Anopolis village, Sfakia, you start to walk 2 hours to the Byzantine church of the Holy Cross (this piece may be performed in rural or Jeep). From here begins the descent, lasting about three hours, leading to the beautiful beach Iligka, 1km west of Sfakia.
The gorge of Ilingas is, surprisingly very beautiful and totally unknown. After heavy rains in winter 2000 is now difficult to walk. From its northern end (Anopolis area) it is possible to get to interesting and abandoned villages, high above Anopolis.
