	Holidays in Crete, Greece - Sfakia - Chora-Sfakion.com
		The district of Sfakia, with its main village Chora Sfakion, is a very special part of Crete, far away from the mass tourism of the north coast.
		Sfakia is dotted with a very large number of lovely small white churches, and many of the older houses in the area are of traditional architectural style with large stone arches.
		The weather in Sfakia is almost always better than that on the north coast of Crete, as it is separated from the north by the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and is only 200 miles from Africa.
