Fragokastello
|
On the south coast of Crete, on a magnificent white sandy beach, stands one of the most beautiful Venetian fortresses, Fragokastello, built in 1371. It is located approximately 170 km from Iraklion, 70 km from Rethimnon, and 70 Km from Hania.
Today, Fragokastello is a small, but developing, community, with nice beaches covered in sand dunes, and limited, but increasing, tourist facilities.
The visitor coming from Hania, should follow the road to Sfakia and from approximately the 68th km take the road to Komitades. After passing the villages of Vraskas, Vouvas and Nomikiana, will end up to the coast, where Fragokastello is sited.
Fragokastello, together with the neighboring villages of Kapsodasos, Kalikratis and Patsianos, belong to the municipality of Sfakia.

Fragokastello, is an ideal base of operations for visitors who want to explore the south west coast of Crete, or the impressive White Mountains.
From Fragokastello passes the European hiking footpath (E4).
The footpath comes to Fragokastello through the gorge of Imbros and crosses the gorge of Kalikratis through Fragokastello and the village of Patsianos.

A long magnificent white sandy beach stretches in front of the castle. The water is crystal clear, shallow and warm.
The sand forms dunes that besides the marvellous sight they offer, they can also be used for games by the sea side.
