Loutra Beach is located on the southern coast of the Heraklion region, forming the easternmost part of the Lentas settlement shoreline.

Its name ("Loutra" meaning baths) is derived from the ancient baths found in the area, as Lentas (ancient Levin) was a renowned hydrotherapy center in antiquity, featuring the Sanctuary of Asclepius nearby. The beach consists of fine pebbles and sand, washed by the crystal-clear, deep waters of the Libyan Sea.

Access to Loutra is very easy compared to other secluded Asterousia beaches, as it can be reached by car via the main road leading to Lentas. The beach is situated right next to the settlement's small harbor and extends eastward toward Cape Trachoulas. Because of its proximity, it is the ideal choice for those staying in Lentas who want convenient sea access without the need for demanding hiking or boat trips.

Regarding organization, Loutra Beach is partially organized. While it maintains a peaceful atmosphere, there are tavernas, cafes, and rental rooms nearby to serve visitors. Several tamarisk trees along the coast provide natural shade, and the beach is known for its relaxed vibe, attracting people looking for quietude with basic amenities. From Loutra, the trail leading to Trachoulas Beach begins, offering a route that combines easy access with the exploration of the surrounding wild landscape.
