text: Loutro is a place for those people who want something different. A small picturesque fishing village in south west Crete, not yet spoilt by mass tourism. For example there are no big hotels with swimming pools. There are no overcrowded streets, restaurants and beaches, there are no cars! The only access is by boat or as you wish, by foot ( 1,5 - 2 hours from Chora Sfakion). There are daily ferries to/from Chora Sfakion, Sougia, Gavdos Island, Palaiochora and Agia Roumeli.
