There’s a reasonably straightforward route between Loutro and Agia Roumeli, following the waymarked E4 path through Finikas, Marmara and Agios Pavlos, a distance of 14km taking around five hours.  But of course we didn’t go that way \u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynne and I first visited Loutro in the summer of 1991, staying with Alison at Hotel Porto Loutro and meals at nearby Blue House.  Both are still there, but how different Loutro is now.  I’m with Yeats here :  \u201cAll changed, changed utterly : a terrible beauty is born \u2026.\u201d <\/em>  The sight, as the \u201cSamaria\u201d turns into Loutro after the cruise along the coast from Paleochora, is idyllic, with blue\/white houses bordering the shore, and a background of the White Mountains \u2026.  but \u2026…<\/p>
