A perfect day by the sea! Without roads, without traffic, just enjoy nature without crowds. The south coast between Chora Sfakion and Sougia cannot be reached by car. Only for hiking (the European hiking trail E4 runs here) and to explore from the sea. Spectacular nature and landscape await you here. Rent a boat (also possible without a license) or have a water taxi take you to the remote and lonely beaches. A highlight is Domata Beach between Agia Roumeli and Sougia.
The highlight is the small, very old church of Agios Pavlos. This is where the Apostle Paul is said to have come ashore and began to spread the gospel from here. The Byzantine church dates back to the 10th century. There is a small tavern next door that provides visitors with food and drink. It's quite an experience to anchor the boat and swim ashore. Taverns with unique locations can be found in Phoenix Bay, at Glyka Nera Beach and of course in Loutro and Chora Sfakion. A visit as the crowning conclusion to an unforgettable day.
What is important for this excursion is sufficient sun protection, water and a waterproof bag to be able to go ashore with your cell phone, wallet, etc. The boats are not allowed to dock, only anchor. That means you have to swim to the beach ;-)
