Loutro Bay

Loutro Bay shelters a car-free fishing village that feels untouched by mass tourism, accessible only by boat or hiking trail along Crete's dramatic southern coast. You'll find crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, with the famous Glyka Nera (Sweet Water) beach nearby where freshwater springs meet the sea. The village sits beneath towering cliffs between Agia Roumeli and Hora Sfakion, offering authentic tavernas and a handful of small accommodations carved into this remote corner of the Sfakia region.
