A Village with History and Character
Anopoli is a historic village in the region of Sfakia, built on a plateau at the foot of the White Mountains. Known for its proud traditions and strong community, the village has been a center of Cretan history and resistance for centuries. Walking through its narrow streets, you will find stone houses, small chapels, and friendly locals ready to share stories of the past.
Nature at Your Doorstep
From Anopoli, you can easily reach some of Crete’s most striking landscapes. The dramatic Aradena Gorge begins just outside the village, leading down to the turquoise waters of Marmara beach. Hiking paths connect Anopoli with the high peaks of the White Mountains, offering routes for both experienced hikers and casual walkers who want to enjoy the views.
Close to the Sea
Although Anopoli is a mountain village, the sea is never far away. Within a short drive you can reach Hora Sfakion, the port town of southern Crete, or take a boat to secluded beaches such as Glyka Nera, Loutro, and Agia Roumeli. This mix of mountains and sea makes Anopoli the perfect base for exploring the diversity of Crete.
A True Cretan Experience
Staying in Anopoli means more than visiting a place – it’s experiencing a way of life. Here you can join village festivals, taste local products, and enjoy evenings in the square with the locals. It is an authentic side of Crete, away from mass tourism, where time seems to move at a slower pace.
