Loutro, Coastal village in Sfakiá, Greece.
Loutro extends along a sheltered bay bordered by limestone mountains that descend into the Libyan Sea on the southern coast of Crete.
The settlement occupies the site of ancient Phoenix, which functioned as the port for the mountain city of Anopolis during the Roman period.
Local fishermen maintain maritime traditions by catching fresh fish daily and preparing regional dishes using methods passed down through generations.
Regular ferry services connect Loutro to Chora Sfakion, while hiking trails along the coastline provide alternative access to neighboring beaches.
The complete absence of roads and motor vehicles preserves the authentic character of this Mediterranean fishing settlement untouched by mass tourism.
