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

This is the shortest and busiest link on Crete's south coast, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Chora Sfakion round to Loutro. ANENDYK run it with the Aeolus, Daskalogiannis and Loutro Spirit, and in summer there is a small boat shuttling back and forth for much of the day. Loutro has no road, so this is effectively its bus service.

Loutro is a car-free village set around a sheltered horseshoe bay, backed by the White Mountains and reachable only by boat or the E4 footpath. Whitewashed tavernas and rooms line the water, there is a ruined Venetian fort on the hillside, and the swimming is very good. Nothing much happens there, which is the reason people go.

Crossings run many times a day in season, so you can travel more or less on impulse. Current sailings and fares are listed below. Chora Sfakion is where the Chania buses terminate, making it the road connection for the whole of this coastline.
