Cliffside Coastal Trail

Highlight • Trail

Great section of the route here on the cliffs.

There are rope safety devices in places. Difficulty in my opinion A/B.

Sweet Water Beach (Paralia Glyka Nera)

Highlight • Beach

About 3.5 km from Loutro lies the bay. It is known for its freshwater springs. The bay is beautifully secluded and invites you to swim.

View of Loutro

Highlight • Viewpoint

Loutro can only be reached on foot or by boat, which makes this place very special. A tavern after another, right along the sea, invite you to linger.

Loutro

Highlight • Settlement

Rustic fishing village, which lives mainly from tourism. Once the day tourists who bring the ferries are gone, things get much more comfortable. Then you can end the day in …

April 9, 2022,Kreta: Über den Sweet Water Beach an der Küste nach Loutro

Day 5 (the last one 😥)- Via Sweet Water Beach to Loutro
Today my tour starts later - I missed one of the countless stones lying on the road.. The rim of my rental car didn't survive that completely unscathed 😅 Two hours and 12 euros later everything is repaired and we're off to Chora Sfakion again .
After crossing …

We thought this morning only 10 km, it's a sweaty affair at this time of year... no shade far and wide.
We're going north today...Rodopos...to do another hike there tomorrow

Breathtaking coastal hike with "vertigo-free" passages. The section between Sweet Water Beach and Sfakia is partly secured with ropes but is still manageable for everyone.

Very nice coastal walk; Surefootedness and a head for heights are recommended 🙈; great views - and super-clear water👌🏼

September 23, 2021,Kreta - Von Loutro nach Chora Sfakion

A really worthwhile tour. We go to Loutro by boat. From there always along the coast back to Sfakion. Since you are constantly walking in the sun, the tour is very strenuous at high temperatures. But every now and then there is the opportunity to cool off in the sea.

October 1, 2025,🇬🇷KüstenWanderung ab Loutro. Vorbei am SweetwaterBeach bis nach Chora Sfakion. Heiss.

A lovely little hike along the coast. We set off late in the morning. It got really hot during the course of the afternoon.
From Loutro to Sweetwater Beach and then on to Loutro for a quick afternoon snack.
The only downside today: I left my hiking poles at the ATM. Unfortunately, they were gone when I came back an …

This morning we had breakfast at the bakery, cappuccino and croissant. Then we set off straight away because otherwise it would be too hot. Since I'm in holiday mode😉 I only set Komoot again after more than a kilometer 🙈
First it's a pretty boring 2 km stretch along the road to Anopolis.
A fairly adventurous path leads through the …
