Set against a backdrop of dramatically rugged mountains, Loutro’s location is timeless and unique.
This south-coast haven survives without cars and can only be reached via a 20 minute boat trip from Chora Sfakion. Loutro is a perfect little hideaway; its simple white-washed buildings with their blue shutters, are quintessential Greece. Waterside tavernas, which are set right by the crystal-clear sea, offer some of the best cuisine found on Crete.
For the more energetic and adventurous, numerous bays and coves can be discovered by water taxi and the area also provides some stunning walks through mountains and gorges.
Whatever you prefer: come relax, bring your walking shoes, several books and experience the Greece of your dreams.
