A sheltered and very attractive bay, '''Loutro''' is the only natural harbour on the south coast of Crete. The bay offers good shelter from all directions except S-SE, when Chora Sfakion may offer slightly better shelter. Anchor in 6-7 metres in sand, avoiding the weed patch in the centre of the bay. The SW end of the harbour has a ferry quay and a few small craft moorings and there is an isolated rock just awash 50m off the shore on the NE side (marked with a small concrete 'pot'). Loutro has no road access, only via the ferry from Hora Sfakion, so is blessedly free of road traffic. Numerous tavernas line the bay and there is good swimming in water clear as glass off the sandy beach. | A sheltered and very attractive bay, '''Loutro''' is the only natural harbour on the south coast of Crete.
