Loutraki is a small natural bay with crystal, clear, turqoise waters 15 km northeast of Chania, a quiet cove with a lovely, sandy beach. A cafeteria, a beach bar, a fish restaurant and a traditional taverna can be found.

At about 2 km north along the coast is the beautiful Marathi bay with three amazing beaches, a few seafood restaurants (Patrelantonis the most famous) and a beach-cafe.

While staying in Loutraki village you can visit some of the great Monasteries and churches of the area of Akrotiri (peninsula), "The Holly Mountain of Crete". The most important are the Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) Monastery, the Gouverneto (Lady of the Angels) and the Katholiko (Agios Ioannis the Hermit).
