About the area

Nestled in the embrace of history and natural splendor, Loutro holds a captivating past that echoes whispers of ancient civilizations. Its foundations rest upon the ancient city of Finikas and the port of ancient Anopolis, bearing witness to the footsteps of those who came before. Over time, it transformed into the cherished winter-time port of Sfakia, a sanctuary for seafarers seeking refuge from turbulent seas.

The bay's protective embrace and the presence of a small island at its entrance create a natural harbor, offering a haven where ships can anchor securely, even amidst the most tempestuous weather conditions. Loutro's unique blend of historical significance and its picturesque coastal allure make it a destination that effortlessly weaves together the threads of time and nature.
