Loutro

Loutro is the sort of unspoilt fishing village that visitors seek but rarely find. It is only accessible by boat or a long walk down from the village high above and along a cliffside path. The small village sits around the harbour and here you will find a few simple tavernas which offer some of the best cooking on the island. You sit shaded by the harbouside trees watching the boats and beach activities. There are no cars, no night live and no organized tourism, just a sense of perfect idyllic peace. The village has a shingle beach and small coves with deep clear water which is ideal for snorkeling. The rocky hillside rising steeply up from the harbour is criss-crossed with paths that make it a walkers paradise and quite close by there are archeological remains to be explored. For energetic walkers there are challenging walks with stunning views of the mountains and out across the Libyan Sea.
