Stunning viewpoint and ancient castle in Loutro

#mediterranean #crete #greece Visiting the Archaeological Area of Ancient Phoinix near Loutro was a great experience, especially if you like quiet, slightly hidden historical spots. The ruins are small and scattered, but you can still see the outlines of old walls and harbor structures from ancient times. What really stood out to me was the view from above — it’s absolutely stunning. You can see the turquoise water, the rocky coastline, and the little bay spread out below. It’s the kind of place where you just stop for a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. It’s usually very quiet there, so you can explore at your own pace and take in both the history and the landscape. Afterward, it’s easy to head down to one of the nearby beaches or tavernas to relax.
