The spa was booked the whole time of our visit is what we were told. So, we didn't get that opportunity. The pool was well kept, a little chilly to sit outside, though. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Sfakia is a famous and historically significant area of Greece and Europe. It is an impressive region, rugged mountains and translucent waters, along with unparalleled food and hospitality. Of course you need to know where to go if you are not Greek.

5/5 - Excellent

Excellent for rambling, kayaking and swimming. Check weather forecast if you depend on the ferry to go home from Agia Roumeli or Loutro as the ferries don't run if the sea is rough. It's quite a hike along the coast path with your luggage!
