Your Journey to the South Coast
Additionally, the drive from Platanias to Chora Sfakion takes approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes (75 km).
Specifically, our route passes through the stunning White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and the famous Imbros Gorge. Crucially, this scenic mountain road features steep, challenging sections. For this reason, many visitors actively choose our private transfers over renting a car. We navigate the difficult turns perfectly, so you can simply enjoy the spectacular views.
