Loutro seafront

Seaside village with white buildings and blue shutters nestled against a rocky hillside. Small boats are moored in the clear blue water.

The charming white village of Loutro, in Crete, is isolated at the foot of the mountains around a small cove.

Accessible only by boat or on foot, its white houses contrast with the breathtaking scenery.

Loutro is well known to hikers because it is one of the stops on the way back from Agia Roumeli, the finish point of the famous Samaria Gorge hike, to the port of Chora Sfakion, to rejoin the road network.

Unfortunately, Loutro in Crete is no longer a traditional fishing village.

All the buildings are now tourist accommodation and restaurants.
