Alkyon

3.8(126 reviews)

About

On Crete, Alkyon sits beside the coastal road at Chora Sfakion, at Παραλιακή Χώρας, Chora Sfakion 730 11, Greece.

Alkyon is known as a café in the village of Chora Sfakion, on the island's southern coast, where the setting looks out over the water rather than inland. First-time visitors should expect a small, informal café rather than a large restaurant, with the sea and the coastal road as its immediate surroundings. Visitors rate it 3.8 out of 5 across 126 reviews, a middling score that reflects a mix of responses.

Its website, https://www.hotel-alkyon-sfakia-crete.com/, carries the café's own information. Chora Sfakion is reached by road from the larger towns on Crete, including Chania and Rethymno, though the journey crosses the island's southern interior.

Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer, which matters for anyone planning a coastal route. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
