- War Museum Askifou - Georgios A. Hatzidakis was born into a mountain village in Sfakia (Askyfou) on December 12, 1931, as a child of a large family, and died on December 12, 2007. His family’s home was one of thousands destroyed by the merciless bombardment of the enemy. He himself was severely injured and retained a large scar on his forehead, but much more hit him the loss of his younger sister, who was killed in the attacks. The survivors of his family and he himself were able to flee then and found refuge a few miles further in a village in Apokoronas. The war and its aftermath were a bitter experience, making clear to him the futility of the clashes. So he began his passion to gather all traces of the battle for his homeland, to keep the glorious memory of his ancestors alive and to encourage the younger ones to deal with their history. The collection currently comprises more than 2,000 objects over the period 1940-1944.

The gorge of Imbros is the second most popular gorge for walkers on Crete after the gorge of Samaria. This is the sort of walk that you could easily walk with children. After the hike we will be stopping for lunch at a local restaurant with a majestic view. Our next stop is a private collection of is an interesting war museum that was created by the initiative of a local man. Georgios Hatzidakis, born in 1931, started to collect weaponry at the age of 14. He would collect anything he found in the village, mostly weapons from the Second World War, but as he was growing up, he was also interested to find other weapons that dated from the Cretan Revolution of 1770 or even older.! Finishing the day we will stop by Iligas beach near Sfakia harbor with some drinks in a cave bar in front of light blue waters! Approximate time 8-9 hours. It’s a highly recommended tour if you are visiting Greece or also if you want to have a special day spend around nature.
