Getting away from it all in Crete
Taking a cheap all inclusive holiday in Crete is a great break. Sometimes though you just want to get away from it all – very difficult in popular destinations wherever you are. But Crete has a few hideaways that will help you relax.
Loutro
Our favourite is the white and blue housed village of Loutro. It’s got a real Mediterranean feel, including the picturesque white chapel on the hill to fulfil your expectations of a Greek island. This is a real secret destination tucked into a small bay on the south coast. In summer most of the population are visitors (95%).
It is very peaceful – there are no motor vehicles because there is no road to this village! The only way to find it is by private boat, yacht or by ferry from Sfakia.
This is the port of destination for those who take the boat back at the end of their long trek through the Samarian Gorge. In fact if you’ve done this hike and caught the ferry back from Agia Roumeli you’ve probably stopped at Loutro!
There’s little to do here if you make the trip but enjoy the peace. You might hear the odd bell of the mountain goats or a number of languages spoken by the cosmopolitan guests, but little more.
For the energetic
If you’re suddenly feeling energetic faced with nothing to do, you could climb the hill behind the village to the castle ruins. Not that much energy? Don’t worry try the sea edge paths instead and enjoy the astonishing views at your Crete holidays.
If something more watery appeals, hire a canoe or explore the water and its inhabitants snorkelling or diving in the bay.
Grab some lunch
There are some great little restaurants and tavernas here such as Illios and Stratis or Blue House. Make sure you indulge in an authentic Cretan lunch before you leave!
Time to go
When you’ve had enough and desire the company of people and more to entertain you, ship out on the ferry travelling to Sfakia and then onto Chania. Or take a trip to the nearby beaches at Mamara or Sweetwater for some sun soaking – you can walk it but it’s easier by boat.
Perfect getaway
