Just outside the castle you will swim into the Libyan sea. Nearby is also a very nice beach called “orthi ammos”
Small, well-preserved, leaning on the edge of a desert plain of the Libyan Sea in Sfakia around the mountains, Fragokastelo unfolds even today the skein of history, a story full of memories and mysteries. The "castle of Drosoulites" was built by the Venetians in the period 1371-1374, aiming to protect them from Sfakians, who were lead by the six brothers Patsis who constantly bothered occupiers, who could not complete the project.

clear blue waters. sun till afternoon late hours perfect spot to take photos when it is full moon. 45' min drive. many tavernas to choose.
To get to Frangokastello from Chania, you need to drive up to Askyfou Plateau and then descend to Chora Sfakion, driving alongside the imposing sheer cliffs of the Imbros Gorge. Soon you will see the endless blue of the Libyan Sea stretching out before you. The journey is approximately 1.5 hours’ drive from Chania. I recommend the orthi ammos beach !!
