This is a very interesting gorge and is the first gorge west of the Imbros Gorge. There are a few different ways to reach the entrance of the Sfakian gorge. One way is to walk up from the village Imbros and the other is from Ammoudari towards the Niato plateau in the White Mountains  following partly the E4 and walk to the entrance. From Niato the walk towards, and also in the gorge, is marked by the Mountaineering Club of Chania. At the beginning the gorge is steep until you reach the old chapel of Agios Pavlos. This Byzantine church of Saint Paul (Agios Pavlos) was built by the locals in 1407.
