Sunrise
The hotel cat napping in the early morning light
Our briefing at 9.15
Down to the wharf below the hotel to meet our boat
Our swims today were on the coast east of Sfakia
This part of the coast is full of caves and interesting rock formations
Our first swim of about 3kms followed the coast with large caves and small beaches breaking our journey
The water quality was exceptional
Changing to a lighter green closer to shore
We swam to the boat as Koutelo Beach, our destination, which had a treacherous rocky entrance.
Finding a safe channel we all swam to shore
Relaxation time - some retreated to deck chairs
A special lunch was provided by Swimtrek
The chef and owner of the Koutelo Taverna
Our very appreciative group
After an appropriate rest we swam back to our boat
Our afternoon swim, only 1.5 kms, was from a point out to sea and swimming directly to shore with this little hut as our focus. The sea was a deep blue with shards of light shining through. Just beautiful.
We returned to our port about 6. Before dinner a few of us walked up to the little fort or kastello, for a drink in a small taverna.
The view of Loutro from the fort. Notice the turquoise colour of the water. Crystal clear and calm today.
Feeling rather weary, a few of us opted for a pasta meal at our hotel.
