Tsoutsouros is a well-hidden fishing village under the imposing Asterousia mountains, on the Libyan Sea coast in the south.

Life there is mellow and time seems to have stopped. There’s plenty of fresh seafood restaurants by the sea. One thing that struck me about Tsoutsouros is how cheap the food was, for its excellent quality.

This place is completely untouched by mass tourism. An excellent stop on your south Heraklion road trips, there’s plenty of accommodation options. Also, it's an excellent stay for your south Crete road trips along the coast.
