A goat walking on the side of the road on the way from Hora Sfakion to Anopolis.
A beautiful white goat on the Sfakia mountains. The goats that live on the mountains of Crete are much smaller than goats in northern Europe, because they have adjusted to the local environment: rocky slopes with not much food and water
Another goat in Sfakia area. These goats live in a semi-wild condition, but they should be distinguished from the wild goat of Crete (kri-kri, Capra aegagrus creticus), which is a different species. Photo by Alexander Stepanenko
The beach of Ilingas gorge. Hora Sfakion town is also visible in the back of the picture.
A different view of the pebbly beach of Ilingas. Ilingas gorge is about 1 km far from Hora Sfakion
There is a big cave close to the water on Ilingas beach. In the summer months the cave is the perfect shelter from the rays of the hot sun.
