Komitades, Sfakia

Sunday, September 20th, 2026

We  start from the historic Church of Panagia Thymiani in the village of Komitades, Sfakia, also known as the Agia Lavra of Crete.

We follow the wild coastline of Komitades along a trail that is unknown to most people, passing by Byzantine churches, caves, and various sites of historical and folkloric interest. Along the way, we have the opportunity to swim at wonderful and unique beaches. The landscape is characterized by particularly interesting geological features.

Our hike finishes in Chora Sfakion, where we have time to stroll around and enjoy a meal.

This is an easy hike, suitable for everyone, and it is being organized by the Club for the first time.
