Ferry from Loutro (Crete) to Chora Sfakion (Crete)

Loutro to Chora Sfakion is a 15 to 30 minute hop with ANENDYK, worked by the Aeolus, Daskalogiannis and Loutro Spirit. Since Loutro has no road access, this short crossing is how nearly everyone gets in and out. In summer the boats run back and forth through much of the day.

Chora Sfakion is a small, weathered harbour village at the foot of the Sfakia mountains, and the road head for this entire stretch of coast. Buses to Chania leave from the quayside, timed loosely around the boat arrivals, and there are tavernas and rooms along the front. It has a rugged, unpolished feel that matches the landscape behind it.

Crossings run many times a day in season, which makes this the easiest connection on the south coast. Current sailings and fares are listed in the table below. From Chora Sfakion you can also pick up boats east and west along the coast, or south to Gavdos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Loutro to Chora Sfakion ferry

• The scenery during a short inter-island crossing is often the highlight of the day; stand on deck from the moment the vessel clears the harbour.
• On routes served by high-speed catamarans, all seats are assigned – choose seats towards the centre of the vessel for the smoothest ride in choppy conditions.
• Island-hopping itineraries that move in one direction (e.g. Athens to Rhodes via the Dodecanese) rather than back-and-forth are generally cheaper and less stressful.
• The Beaufort scale is used on all official Greek weather and maritime forecasts; it is worth familiarising yourself with what each force number means in practice.
• On high-frequency short routes, check the timetable for the last sailing of the day – it can be surprisingly early on some less-visited islands.
