Hotel Porto Loutro is special, in the words of the hotel's guests who
stay for the first time, only to return when they discover that any year is incomplete without a visit.
Loutro
is quiet. It has no cars or mopeds - just conversation and the occasional boat bringing fresh food to the
waterfront tavernas and cafes.
The hotel, created with quality, comfort and simplicity, is made up of two buildings. Hotel Porto Loutro I is in
the middle of the beach - your room is five steps from the water - for those who like to open the
door, fling their towel on a lounge chair and read, swim, chat or sunbathe. Hotel Porto Loutro ll stands
overlooking Loutro and its sparkling bay, surrounded by dramatic and soul-calming mountains, hardly a one minute
stroll to dive into the clear water below!
Both
have a cafe/bar where breakfast is served to warm the day with a splendid view and a feeling of
well-being - as noted by so many guests.
There is no road to the village.
So you arrive by ferry. The bay dramatically unfolds in front of you as you sail in and step onto the beach just
in front of the hotel. The same beach which you will after a day or so, think of as your own.
"There is nowhere else like it in Crete and having traveled in search of wonderful and
heart-warming places, I have not found any equal to Loutro....the view from the hotel terrace bar is one of the best in the
world, of this I'm sure." *
" 'A room with a view'. What a romantic place to have a
honeymoon after being married for 11 years."
"After wandering
through the hills and mountains it feels like coming home."

book at the hotel.]
