Madares
About
In Crete, Madares is an apartment venue in Loutro, a small coastal village on the island's south-west coast. Madares is known for its position in Loutro, a settlement reached by boat or on foot rather than by road, which shapes the kind of stay it offers. First-time visitors should expect a quiet base in a village where the sea is the main focus and the pace is slow. With 229 reviews and a rating of 4.1 out of 5, it draws a steady stream of guests through the season. Loutro sits within reach of Chania and Rethymno, the main towns on this part of the island, and the village is reached by sea or on foot rather than by road. The website madares.gr carries further information about the property.
Guests based at Madares can use Loutro as a starting point for exploring the wider region, with Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia all lying within Crete. The apartment's setting in Loutro places it near the island's south-west coast, where the nearby places list includes Matala and Elafonisi. A stay here suits travellers who want a base in a small village rather than a large resort town.
Opening hours are not part of the venue details, so the property's website at madares.gr is the main point of reference for anyone planning a stay. The 4.1 out of 5 rating from 229 reviews gives a sense of how previous guests have judged the apartment.
Crete's menus often feature horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills, which visitors will encounter in tavernas across the region. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so travellers relying on boat connections should allow flexibility. Greek is the main language spoken across Crete, and the Greek alphabet appears on road signs and menus.
