Best Crete hidden places

creti.co/blog — Loutro, Chania. About 70 kilometers south of Chania and a short distance from Sfakia lies the picturesque yet cosmopolitan fishing village of Loutro. God has been very generous to this place. Besides the incredible natural beauty, it is perhaps the only place in Crete with no winds, since the bay and the small island at its entrance form a natural harbor. Even the way to reach Loutro is unique. You should get to Sfakia and take the boat, as there is no road to Loutro and that means no cars in the village.
