Also include the Samaria Gorge, one of the most popular attractions in Crete.Other canyons in Sfakia is the gorge of the industry, Roofing, gorge Elygias, Aradaina the Sfakia, Imbros, Asfendou and Gorge Kallikrates.
For the name Sfakia are 3 explanations:
The first explanation is the name <<Sfax>> which means earth divide, something that fits because it has many deep gorges.
The second version claims that the country was originally called Sfakia Sfikia and corruption became Sfakia and the last version is from a flower named Sfaka means bitter.
History
The ancient cities of Sfakia
Anopolis at Sfakia. The ancient city was built near the village Anopolis at Sfakia. Phoinicousa was its port, at the location of the village Loutro. In this period, there were two cities, Anopolis and Katopolis. Katopolis was known with the name Phoinix. The ancient Anopolis signed the decree of alliance of thirty Cretan cities with Eumenes B’. The city had also its own currency, since it was independent and free. Parts of Pelasgic cyclopic walls are preserved at Riza location. The city flourished especially in the Roman and Byzantine period. However, Pashley had found shells of the Hellenistic period. That means that the area was inhabited even earlier than the Roman period. There also found ruins of cisterns, part of the water supply of the city. During the Venetian dominion, the city was centre of the Cretan members for the national resistance, in western Crete. Therefore, the city was destroyed in 1365 AD. It was rebuilt in the period of Turkish dominion. The habitants of the city worked on sailing.
Aradaina Sfakion. Aradena is located in the western area of the gorge, at Sfakia. The gorge separates the plateau of Aradena with that of Anopolis, in the west of Agia Roumeli and near Agios Ioannis. Stefanos Byzantios confuses Aradena with Anopolis. The ruins of ancient Araden or Heraden are preserved at Passopetra location, near the village Aradena. It was independent city and it was one of the thirty cities of the often-cited decree. The ancient necropolis is at Xenotafi location. Phoinix was the port of Aradena. It is believed that Phoenician colonisers established it and they link the name of the city with the Phoenician word Aruad, which means shelter. In Phoenicia, there was a city with the same name. Aradena was flourishing until the last centuries of Venetian dominion and the first century of the Turkish dominion. Its citizens were working on sailing and trading. In the Revolution of Daskalogiannis against the Turks of the Ottoman Empire, the village was utterly ruined. To Aradaina, we can go via Chora Sfakion and Anopolis. “Araden is city of Crete, which is also called Anopolis, because it is in high location. The citizen from the genitive form of the word, was called Aradenios, like Araphenos, Araphenios”Stef. Byzantios.
Agia Roumeli Sfakion. City of western Crete, near Samaria Gorge, at Agia Roumeli location. It is near the sea, on the hill, on the left bank of the stream bank. It was probably established in the Classical period and was very important religious centre. The city flourished in the Greco-Roman period. There was the cult of Apollo Tarraios. There were found parts of his temple. Tarra in frequently cited in the ancient sources.
Although it was small town, Tarra had its own coins. The coins have the head of Cretan wild goat, arrow, and bee. Tarra had monetary union with Elyros, Yrtakina and Lisos. The coins belong to the 3rd and 2nd century BC, when Tarra became member of the Republic of Cretans. The city had established colony of the same name at Caucasus. It is also believed that Tarras of South Italy was another colony of the city.
In 1415, Buondelmonti detected in the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, an inscription in Greek that was saying: “Peel your shoes, cover your head and come in.” Similar inscription was found at the Temple of Matala. The custom of entering the temple without shoes is ancient. Apollo, after the murder of Python, went to Tarra, where there were done purgatorial rituals by priest Karmanoras. According to Pausanias, Apollo “in the house of Karmanor, Apollo made love with nymph Akakallidi”. The nymph gave birth to twins, Phylakides, and Philanders. A goat fed them. Therefore, the Elyrians presented to Delphi bronze goat feeding to infants. In Tarra, there were glassworks workshops.
Loukillos was from Tarra. He commented on the Argonautics by Apollonios of Rhodes. Chrysothemis, a lyre player, son of Karmanor, who won at the Pythian festival, was from Tarra as well. Tarra is one of the city that signed decree with Eumenes B’ in 170 BC. Pashley was the first who detected the location of the city. In the area, there was found stone stele with inscribed double axe. It is exhibited at The Archaeological Museum of Chania.
“Tarra is city of Lydia. There is another in Crete, where Apollo Tarraios is worshipped. Loucios, who wrote three books on proverbs, was from Tarra. The feminine of the resident is called Tarraia.” Stef. Byzantios.
Loutro Sfakion. Common name of ports. Famous ports of that name are those of Kythera, Crete, Messenia, Pamphelia, Sicily and Libya. The name probably derives from the inhabitation of Phoenician merchants. It was port of Anopolis Sfakion and for this reason, it was called Kato Poli. There are underground vaulted chambers, ruins from all periods, Roman relics, foundations of structures, inscriptions, tombs, walls etc. at Phoinikous, there were purple workshops. The ruins of the Byzantine city are at Loutro gulf, up to Phoinikies location, which preserves the ancient name. Claudius Ptolemy cites Phoinikous city and Phoinix port. Byzantios gives us the following information:“Phoinikous. City of Crete. There is also island towards Lykia. There is also Phoinikous port…the national adjective is Phoinikountios and Phoinikousios, like Selinountios and Selinousios.”
Small seaside town at Voukilasi or Voukoliasi location at Sfakia. More specifically at Trypiti cape, between Sougia and Agia Roumeli. The ancient city was near Trypiti of Sfakia. Poikilasion was not autonomous city. It was part and port of Elyros. In the town there was found inscription that testifies the existence of Temple of Serapes. There were also found hollowed tombs in the rocks and marble pits. Its ruins are of no importance. It was city of the Greek, Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic period. Ptolemy calls it Poikilasion in three cities of southern Crete. In the 918 Code of Markian Library, it is called Pecilasio overo Pescalio, among one hundred cities.

Hiking begins from Xilaskalo (at an altitude of 1.250m – 43km far from Chania) and lasts for 5-8 hours depending on your pace. You can visit it from May to October. The landscape is wonderful and there are 450 species of flora as well as unique and unusual geological formations.
Imbros Gorge. Small and easy to cross, with imposing rocks up to 300m in some spots where it is only 2m wide. Its entrance is shortly after Imbros village (at and altitude of 780m, 55km far from Chania), and its length is 8km. After two hours walking you reach the exit in Komitades village.

After 3.5 hours walking you reach Marmara beach. There you can take a boat to Loutro or keep walking to the east for about 3 hours until you reach Sfakia while passing through Likos, Phinikas, Loutro, Glika Nera and Iligas.

After hiking for 3.5 hours you reach Agios Pavlos beach, which is full of pine trees, and then you need 1 more hour to the west to reach Agia Roumeli. This covers only the 1 third of the total distance inside the gorge. So if you wish to cross the whole gorge, you need an experienced guide and two days time. (route: Omalos tableland – Kallergis refuge – Melidaou Peak (2.133m altitude) – Potami of the White Mountains – Agios Pavlos). Omalos – Potami: 6 hours. Potami – Agios Pavlos: 6hours.
Sfakiano or Bartholomas gorge. As far as flora is concerned, it’s a very interesting gorge. Its entrance is from Imbros village and it’s 2 hours walking in a rural road of 10km (you can also use a suitable car) till you reach the ruined Kali Lakki village and then you need 2.5 more hours to reach its exit and the road. You do most of the hiking along the dry bottom of the river which is really easy to walk.
Tripiti gorge. Very beautiful and rich in flora and fauna (the Cretan Wild Goat lives here) but one of the most ‘difficult to cross’ gorges in west Crete. You need an experienced guide and 2 days time. You start waking from Omalos tableland, climb mountain Gigilos and 3 hours later you reach Tzazimos’ sheepfold (2.080m altitude). Then it takes you 3 more hours to reach Tripiti beach and if there is not a boat waiting for you, you will need another 3 hours walking to the west until you reach Sougia.

Kapnis gorge. Wild and rough with a great inclination of the ground. Its entrance is 4km on the east of the road from Imbros to Asfendou, at an altitude of 900m.
