What to Expect

Join us on this relaxing catamaran trip from Souda to Marathi Beach, including lunch on board and swimming stops. Start your journey by exploring the historic Souda Bay, a deep natural harbour known for its strategic military significance and beautiful surroundings. As we cruise past the entrance of the bay, you will notice the small island of Souda, home to a well-preserved Venetian fortress from the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history.

The next stop is the charming coastal village of Marathi. Known for its calm, shallow waters and sandy beaches, Marathi is an ideal spot for families, couples, and anyone looking to relax by the sea. Here, you can take advantage of the two sheltered bays for swimming and sunbathing, even when other parts of the island are breezy. Enjoy a delightful lunch on board with refreshing drinks as you take in the laid-back, authentic Cretan atmosphere.

As we head back to Souda Bay, enjoy some leisure time with swimming and other activities. The comfortable catamaran, equipped with spacious decks and shaded lounging areas, ensures you have everything you need for a memorable day on the water. Whether you are taking in the sights of the Venetian fortress or relaxing on the sandy shores of Marathi, this tour provides a perfect blend of culture, relaxation, and natural beauty.
