On
the south coast of Crete, a two hour drive over the mountains from
Chania and 60 km from Rethymno, is the strange sight of a 14th
century fort near the beach, which gives the village of scattered
houses its name. Frangokastello is strung out alongside long flat
fine sandy beaches, wonderful for safe swimming and ideal for
children.
The village is on a narrow plain, beneath a mountain backdrop. There
are a number of tavernas, cafes, shops catering for most needs, and
some specialist fish restaurants, which are held in high regard by
the locals. The general area is noted for attractive gorges that
delight keen walkers, and not far away is Chora Sfakion from where
you can take a boat along the south coast to the west. |
