Beautiful day out of time ✨ - A day out of time... First stop on the splendid beach of Glyka Nera: a moment of calm and rejuvenation. Sunbeds are available for rent, a small tavern allows for drinking and eating, and it is possible to rent a mask and snorkel to explore the crystal clear waters. Then head to Loutro, a village of incredible beauty. Take a stroll through its narrow streets, discover charming fishermen’s restaurants and a magnificent chapel. On the way back, stop at a mountain tavern to enjoy honey, olive oil and raki. A huge thank you to Tarek, our friendly and passionate guide, for a rewarding and timeless day.

Loutro a fishing village for nature lovers and peace seekers - The trip to Loutro is a “must” for those who have an eye for nature and long for peace from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our very sympathetic guide Tarek Blah has already been able to inspire us on the way to the port with a lot of information about the country and people. On the boat trip to Loutro we admired the coastal landscape. Our swim stop in a crystal clear bay was very refreshing. Already here the sea shimmered in the most varied shades of blue and green. The small village Loutro with its alleys and taverns by the water has invited you to linger. The stay there was unfortunately over far too quickly. On the way back we had a short coffee break at the entrance to the Imbros Gorge. This can be another highlight for any Crete holidaymaker. Many thanks to Tarek Blah for the unforgettable moments on this day. All in all a successful trip.

Beautiful coves, crystal clear waters! - It all worked out contemporary with the pickup, well-understood Dutch tour guide who passed on very good information. Even with the taxi boat there were no problems, the young captain was always helpful in getting in and out! Sweetwater Bay was super nice refreshing for swimming. We can only recommend the tour.

Great excursion with very friendly and competent guide - The trip to Loutro was beautiful and thanks to our guide Tarek Blah an unforgettable trip. He gave us a lot of background knowledge, gave great tips and even organized a birthday cake for our daughter, who had her birthday that day. Thank you very much again for that. On the way out we had stopped in a small bay for a swim, in which the water was just as crystal clear as in Loutro. This is a beautiful village with the typical Greek houses in blue and white. Thank you Tarek for this great trip.

Loutro is a very great eye-catcher - The trip to Loutro was really worth it, a small village in a bay surrounded by crystal clear water. Only criticism point that it is very rocky and you should not go swimming without appropriate shoes. Otherwise it is really nice and also the look convinced us very much, all houses had a great blue and white Greece style. The tour guide Mr. Tarek Blah was also very nice, funny and competent. Always happy 😊

Definitely worth a trip! - Loutro is a beautiful little village surrounded by crystal clear waters. The blue / white buildings form a picturesque backdrop. You can dine there in a fantastically beautiful atmosphere. We wish we could have stayed there longer! The guide Tarek is also super friendly and offers all kinds of background knowledge and tips away from the tourist activities.
