Sfakia Storms

Storms and gale force winds in Sfakia (Hora Sfakion), south west Crete, at the weekend caused unprecedented damage to infrastructure.

The waste-water treatment plant has been inoperative since the last section of the concrete pipe was literally 'swallowed' by the waves, while losses occurred in the harbour with several 'storm blocks' having been moved by the powerful storm. Due to the enormous efforts made by sailors and fishermen, the ship 'Daskalogiannis', which was anchored in the harbour, was not severely damaged.
