About

When in Crete, Akroyiali beach bar is the beach club set in Loutro, Chora Sfakion 730 11, on the island's southern coast. The village sits on a small bay that ferries and footpaths reach, well away from the northern resort strip. It operates as a beach club, a category built around sunbeds, drinks and casual seaside eating.

Akroyiali beach bar has drawn 285 reviews, which carry an average score of 3.6 out of 5. That volume of feedback points to a well-known spot on this stretch of coast. The bar's own site, at johnakroyiali.gr, covers its restaurant side. Nearby places within reach include Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos.

The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so build slack into any crossing. Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus.

Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, which shapes what a beach bar kitchen serves. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
