Anopoli & Sfakia: the soul of Crete

​

Anopoli is not just a mountain village – it is a living piece of Cretan history, culture, and resistance. Once a stronghold of revolution and pride, it remains a place of deep tradition and genuine hospitality.

​

What you’ll see & feel:

• Traditional stone houses, village cafés, and wood-fired ovens

• Locals wearing everyday Cretan clothing, sipping raki and sharing rhyming couplets

• Authentic village festivals with music, dance, and home-cooked food

• A unique connection to the seasons and the land

​​

Local products:

Don’t miss the handmade cheeses (anthotyro, mizithra), thyme honey, wild herbs, and olive oil pressed from the very groves surrounding the villa.

​

A visit here is not just travel – it's initiation into a way of life.
