There is a decent climb up to the Venetian fortress, of which rather little is left. One can still visit the chapel, and see where the walls were. The reason to climb up however, are the great views of the bays surrounding the fortress, located on an island. For those unwilling to climb up, there is a nice beach at the bottom, and even there there are great views. There is also a ruined boat lying inside the bay.

After a 2 hour hike from Hora Sfakion you end up at this amazing fortress, now taken over by sheep and goat herds! The view is great and is definately worth to visit!

I found this very interesting. The fortress itself is free, with a lovely view back into the harbour, but the museum on the site is so worth visiting. The model of Hania is super, the war mapping and invaders routes on ground floor also very interesting. Up on the first floor the world war exhibits are brilliant. Learning about the British, Canadians, Australians that came to the island to defend and then their own civil struggle. Some great records. My husband didn't join me, I went on my own and spent two hours there. Roasting there, they have some air blowers but wear as little as possible! Good toilets on first floor.
