Daily departures between the beginning of April and the end of October. The best time to travel to the Greek islands is between April and June and September to the beginning of November. In the summer months it gets very hot. Active travelers should either go in the spring time (when nature is at its best) or after summer (when sea water is still warm). The trip is suitable for anyone in a good physical shape. The walks are mostly unsurfaced tracks; footpaths, mountain trails and some tarmac roads. Best arrival/departure airports: Heraklion or Chania (Chania is closer). Best arrival/departure ports: Heraklion or Chania (Chania is closer). From Chania Airport to Vamos it is possible to travel by public bus, but the connection is not good. You are advised to take (or pre-book) a taxi from the airport to Vamos (distance is appr. 30km).

In case your flight departs in the morning you have to either book an extra night in Chania or Heraklion or book a private taxi transfer from Chora Sfakion to the airport as to be on time. You can also take the daily overnight ferry from Chania back to Piraeus. During this trip the luggage transfer from Chora Sfakion to Loutro is done per ferry and the hoteliers take care of luggage transportation to and from the ferries. This is quite common in this part of Crete and completely safe. Please have in mind that luggage is not always handled gently, so pack accordingly.
