Sights

Fragkokastello is a typical medieval castle, built on the south edges of Crete, in order to contain the undisciplined residents of Sfakia during the Venetian occupation.

At Skaloti, there is the interesting byzantine church of Profitis Ilias (1355-56).

Argoules is a typical Cretan dorp, built amphitheatrically facing the Libyan Sea. The view from there is magnificent.

On Korakas beach at Kato Rodakino, Greek raiders unloaded munitions, which were stored in the nearby cave of Skotini, during the revolution of 1866.
