Plot with Building Permit for sale in Askifou Sfakia. Location Information:
Plateau Askifou lies 50km south of Chania, nestled in one of the most authentic regions of the White Mountains. Surrounded by wild peaks and peaceful valleys, it offers a breathtaking landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons.
During winter, snow often blankets the plateau, as its elevation reaches nearly 1200 meters above sea level. Meanwhile, in summer, it becomes a cool, green haven, providing a refreshing escape from the coastal heat.
Interestingly, from above, the plateau looks like a lake; its name, Askifou, means “cup” in ancient Greek. The area includes four small villages, home to few inhabitants, many of whom still live as traditional shepherds.
However, some locals have turned to tourism, as the main road connecting Chania with Sfakia passes through Askifou. As a result, visitors can find traditional taverns, guesthouses, and recently developed luxury agrotourism accommodations.
Above the village of Goni, in the heart of the plateau, stands a hill crowned with two Turkish castle ruins. These ruins, known as the Koules of Askifou, were constructed in the late 19th century by the Ottoman Empire. The forts were built to control the strategic pass leading to Sfakia during a turbulent period in Cretan history.
Notably, in 1821, rebels from Sfakia fought and defeated the Ottoman army in a fierce battle on the plateau. Yet, only two years later, in 1823, the Turks returned, destroyed the villages, and forced the locals to flee.
Today, Askifou remains an important gateway to some of Crete’s most dramatic natural wonders, especially the Imbros Gorge. At its southern edge, the plateau gives way to the gorge, which thousands of hikers explore each summer. Alongside the canyon runs a scenic pine-covered road that winds dramatically toward the southern coast and Sfakia.
Another remarkable route begins at the abandoned village of Asfendou, leading through the stunning Kallikratis Gorge.
From there, travelers can follow a serpentine road to Frangokastelo or continue toward Asi Gonia and Argiroupolis. Just west of Askifou lie two smaller but equally beautiful plateaus beneath the towering summit of Kastri at 2,215 meters.
The first is Tavri, followed by Niato, both surrounded by rugged beauty and beloved by nature enthusiasts.
Lastly, the famous E4 trail passes through Tavri, coming from Katsiveli and ending at Askifou, attracting hikers year-round.
