(SAFARI ON THE SOUTH SIDE)
Sougia, Paleochora, Loutro, Ballos, Elafonissi, and through Sfakia on the opposite to Gavdos. Many streets are still paved with dirt, whereas the asphalt paved are quite new. To see the wildest side of West Crete, we visit isolated villages and incredible beaches.
The largest and most splendid fortifications throughout the Mediterranean is located in Heraklion, Chandax of history. It is tall and powerful walls that surround in them the old city, which was built by the Venetians to protect against future attacks.
Continuing west of Anopolis on Sfakia, you will find Aradaina, a literally deserted village. A visit here to wander through the paths, the gardens and the half demolished stone houses which unfortunately the bridge couldn’t save from decay, is well worth it.
The Fountain of the Lions or "Lions" is one of the central parts of the city. It is well known except by locals and foreigners. The fountain was built in 1628 by General Provisioner Francesco Morosini to help supply water to the city, which suffered from water scarcity.
