Loutro is the sort of fishing village
that visitors seek but rarely find. It is only accessible by boat or a
long walk down from the village high above and along a cliffside path.
The small village sits around the harbour and here you will find a few
simple tavernas which offer some of the best cooking on the island. You
sit shaded by the harbourside trees watching the boats and beach activities.
There are no cars, no night live, just a sense of perfect idyllic peace.
The village has a shingle beach and
small coves with deep clear water which is ideal for snorkeling. The rocky
hillside rising steeply up from the harbour is criss-crossed with paths
that make it a walkers paradise and quite close by there are archeological
remains to be explored. For energetic walkers there are challenging walks
with stunning views of the mountains and out across the Libyan Sea. |
