Holidays in Finix (near Loutro)

Finix (Phoenix)

 

Finix is located on the western site of the Finix peninsula (Loutro is on the eastern side) in superb surroundings.

 

Getting there:  Not so easy: take the boat to Loutro (from Hora Sfakion, Agia Roumeli, Sougia or Paleochora) then walk 15 minutes over the hill. You can see the time-table here

Atmosphere:   The perfect place if you love quiet surroundings in a remote place.

Accommodation:   Finix only has two hotels owned by one family. See The Old Phoenix

Restaurants:   One restaurant only but if you need more choice you can always walk over the hill to Loutro.

Activities:   Relaxing, beautiful walks. You can also hire canoes.

Shopping:   A few shops in Loutro.

Nightlife:   Nightlife here consists of listening to the sound of the sea and distant goat bells.

Beach:   The pebble beach is small with some shade from tamarisk trees. Beautiful water.

Miscellaneous:   Finix is still one of the most peaceful spots in West Crete. It can get a little busy (by local standards) at weekends in the summer.
