Loutro in Crete
Hotels and apartments
Loutro is the sort of unspoilt fishing village that
visitors seek but rarely find. It is only accessible by boat or a
long walk down from the village high above and along a cliffside path.
The small village sits around the harbour and here
you will find a few simple tavernas which offer some of the best cooking
on the island. You sit shaded by the harbouside trees watching the
boats and beach activities. There are no cars, no night live and no
organized tourism, just a sense of perfect idyllic peace.
The village has a shingle beach and small coves with
deep clear water which is ideal for snorkeling. The rocky hillside
rising steeply up from the harbour is criss-crossed with paths that
make it a walkers paradise and quite close by there are archeological
remains to be explored. For energetic walkers there are challenging
walks with stunning views of the mountains and out across the Libyan
Sea.

Top beaches. Crete, Greece
Geropotamos
You can spot its characteristic arks from the National Road connecting Herakleion and Rethimno. Once you get down and harbor in, you will forget about roads and traffic…
Agios Pavlos (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
Behind the protected creek, 30 meters high dunes and an amazing sunset at “Triopetra”, the “three-rocks-cape”. Trying to climb up the sand hills on your way back is not an easy task, especially when the sun is burning - and it really does burn around here!
Plakias (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
A series of small private beaches for total tannning…
Frangokastello (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
The Venetians built the castle bearing the same name during 14th century as a watchtower over the surrounding area and the sea. Today its ruins dominate the underlying lagoon of green-blue, or blue-green if you prefer, waters.
Rodakino (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
Your bathing suit is optional, your sunscreen products mandatory.
Lakki east of Frangokastello (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
Something here for everyone: shallow waters for the young, rocky parts for line fishing, Frankokastelo is not far away if you like to immerse yourself in Medieval Cretan history…
Liggres between Agia Galini and Plakias (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
Piece and tranquility without electricity, telephone and other useless devices…
Preveli (Southern Rethymno - Crete)
The most photographed beach of Crete. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the day-trips depart, you’ll understand the reason why the hippies once considered it a spiritual centre of meditation and inner peace…
