Chora Sfakíon or Sfakia is a small town on the south coast of Chania. It is the capital of the remote and mountainous region of Sfakia, and is a small town. It lies on the south coast, 74km south of Chania city.
Vrissi is the main beach of Chora Sfakion and is located at the west end of the town. This is a nice pebbly beach, well organised and close to the amenities of the town. You can reach the beach by walking in the narrow streets of the settlement. Aboive the east end of the beach, you will see the old Byzantine church of Saint George (Agios Georgios).
There is a smaller, less nice beach, directly next to the small harbor (Limani or Ombrosgialos) of Sfakia, in front of the tavernas, quite well organized.
