Porto Loutro Hotel

You really could not stay any closer to the sea than this!

Porto Loutro I, run by Alison Androulakakis, is directly on the beach just 5 metres from the sparkling turquoise sea. The hotel has traditional blue and white decor and comprises 18 rooms. All possess air conditioning (which can provide heating for early season), WiFi, fridge, room safe, shower room and a balcony with sea views to the front or side. There is a small bar on the first floor where you can take breakfast or enjoy a drink on the terrace above the sea.

On the ground floor are four spacious studios. They are double-bedded and possess a basic kitchenette with cooking rings and fridge, a shower room and a small living area to the front containing a sofa-bed. They share a large common sun terrace just above the beach. A fifth studio is set slightly behind.

WiFi is provided in the rooms and on the beach but it is not permitted on the terrace. Please note that the hotel will not accommodate children under 7 years.

Porto Loutro has a limited number of rooms and understandably high demand so you need to book early. There is an ATM at Chora Sfakion a short ferry hop away.

Transfer note: Taxi to Chora Sfakion (76 kms / c 90 mins.) and then 20 mins. by water taxi.

Twin-centre holidays: Paleochora and Loutro make an excellent two-centre pairing. The transfer between the two is a scenic 2½ hour cruise along the dramatic south-western coastline. The boats leave from Paleochora in the morning and in the late afternoon from Loutro - it may be necessary to change boats in Roumeli at the foot of the Samaria Gorge. We recommend Paleo as the first centre for logistical reasons. If you do have time to kill at Roumeli you can have lunch and a swim, and even walk a little up the gorge (tavernas will keep your luggage).
