The ancient city of Phoenix, the harbor of ancient Anopolis and an important port in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, was located in Loutro. Loutro or Loutra, the baths located nearby and from which water was sent to Anopoli Village, gave Loutro village its name. Only accessible by foot or ferry, this village is a quaint and relaxing retreat for locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by deep forested canyons, the mountains rise up from the sea in Loreto, making it a must-visit in Crete.
