OUR REVIEW
In two distinct buildings the hotel is the modest princess of one of the most special places in Crete, Loutro. Almost all rooms have a wondrous mountain and sea view. Rooms have private balcony, bathroom
and air conditioning. Each part of the hotel has a
bar/cafe and breakfast area. Hotel Porto Loutro I building sits fairly and squarely in the centre of the small pebble beach, forming the focal point of the arched bay - a few steps from your room and you are at tempting water's edge.
Hotel Porto Loutro II building perches a few steps above the west side of the tiny bay (with a terrace bar and view worth travelling thousands of miles for).

photo gallery ]
Gazing at the mountains, listening to the clanking goat bells, reading, swimming, endless choice of walks and climbs - visit Anopolis and the Aradena Gorge, take boat trips to your choice of beach-for-the-day. Peace and quiet with no cars!
Loutro is accessible by a 20 minute trip on the ferry from Sfakia - this journey and arriving with the magical vision of the bay appearing before you will start restoring you to prime performance!
Please note that Hotel Porto Loutro is unable to
accommodate children under 7.
Renting a car: As you will be taking the ferry to get to Loutro,
please note that you cannot take a car with you to Loutro (it is
car-free), so you will need to park your car in Sfakia harbour. Of
course, if you are staying at Loutro for many days, perhaps it is
better to use a taxi to travel to/from Sfakia, rather than have your
rental car "sit" at the parking area.
Rates are per room, per night and include breakfast, air conditioning (cooling/ heating), mini-fridge in the room and all taxes.
Rates are slightly higher than the hotel's walk-in rates.
