The village of Loutra is located in the southwest of the Kassandra peninsula in Halkidiki. The distance to Thessaloniki is about 130 kilometer. With this town there is a bus connection (about 3 buses a day). Sometimes the village of Loutra is called "Loutra Agias Paraskevi" to distinguish it from other villages that are also called Loutra, and there are quite a few. Sometimes it is referred to as "Paralia Agias Paraskevi", the beach of Agias Paraskevi. Agias Paraskevi is an ancient village which is 5 kilometers away from Loutra. It is named after an old church which stands just outside the village. The people of Agias Paraskevi live mainly from the olive groves and from the making of honey. In Agias Paraskevi are a few tavernas serving simple traditional meals. In Loutra and Agias Paraskevi together live about 375 people.

The village of Loutra derives its name from the sulfur springs that are found in the area (Loutra means "Spring"). These hot springs supposedly have a healing and therapeutic effect on various diseases such as for example, rheumatism, psoriasis, eczema, acne and arthritis. So in addition to the "normal" tourists the village also attracts some people that are looking for a cure. The sources were not discovered and put into use until after World War II. Dynamite was used to blow pieces of rock away and now, thanks to the volcanic activity there is a source of water of 39 degrees Celsius. Thus the village of Loutra is not very old.

The village of Loutra is surrounded by cliffs and forests, and there are some nice beaches with sand and pebbles in the area (sometimes surrounded by high cliffs and rocks). At the beach directly in the village there are sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. The beach was awarded the Blue Flag because it is clean and safe for swimming. In the village of Loutra you can further find all the facilities you can expect in a tourist resort, such as bars and restaurants. Several hotels offer spa treatments. The residents of Loutro who do not work in tourism live mostly from fishing, from keeping bees or from the cultivation of olives. The tourists come for the picturesque beaches, for healing and / or for making hikes through the pine forest in the area.
