The Sfakian Pie Festival is in full swing, under an almost full moon, this time in the NEW harbour, so it is not very well visible on the harbour cam as before:

Crowd in Sfakia for Sfakian pie festival - 17 August, 2019

The port of Sfakia was overwhelmed by smells and people at the great traditional feast for the Sfakian Pie Festival!

Cretan music, dance, a rich menu and of course the protagonist of the celebration ... the Sfakian pie, gave a unique evening to the many people who attended and participated in the 5th Sfakian pie party.

The celebration, organised by the Cultural Association of Chora Sfakion, took place for the first time in the area of ​​the new harbour and the mood of the people was lifted from the beginning, but what took off was the dance and Cretan music by Giorgos Mangelakis and his band.

The organisers had ensured that there was plenty of local wine and tsikoudia and a rich traditional table while the unique and pure flavours of the rich Cretan products and of course the Sfakian pies were tasting very well.

Where else could one taste better Sfakian pie beyond its place, Sfakia!

Great photos - looks like it was a wonderful event, and the new harbour has more room for it than the old one. Wish we could have been there. We imagine everyone is very tired today.
