Loutro Beach

Loutro Beach is a picturesque spot located close to Sami. It is renowned for its clean sea and natural landscape, making it a relaxing place to be. The beach is more natural and rocky rather than sandy, which can make it slightly difficult to get in and out of the water. The sea can get a bit rough in the afternoon, but it is still suitable for swimming. The beach is a popular spot for snorkeling, offering beautiful views of the nearby island of Ithaca. However, due to the presence of many sea urchins and the depth of the water, it is recommended to wear swimming shoes and it may not be suitable for families with small children. Loutro Beach is equipped with a shower for a quick rinse off, and there is also a changing cubicle available on the other side of the road. For those looking to avoid sun loungers, the beach is shaded by large trees in the morning. There is a canteen selling refreshments close by, as well as a small cafe near the parking area. The beach is often quiet and used by lots of locals. It features pebbles and rocks, with seating available on the stone walls. Parking is limited, so it's advisable to arrive early.
