What to expect
Ilingas Beach
There are sea caves and wonderful beaches (Sweet water beach etc) for swimming and snorkelling along our way to the small village of Loutro where we will stop for lunch. You can either eat in a taverna or you can bring your own. The food in the village is excellent and there is a wide variety including many recipes for vegetarians. Single or tandem (double) kayaks are available. People with no experience will be given a tandem kayak as those are easier to paddle. Experienced paddlers can get superb boats from Nigel Dennis, Valley, North Shore and P&H.
Perched above the idyllic village of Loutro, the Loutro Fortress, also known as Koules of Loutro, stands as a reminder of Ottoman influence in Crete. Built in 1868, this 19th-century fortress once protected the harbor and coastal routes from naval attacks. Today, its ruins offer panoramic views and a glimpse into the island's history.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
