Souda Bay Cruise: History, Sea Caves & Marathi Beach
Activity Description
Enjoy an unforgettable cruise through Souda Bay, where history, nature and breathtaking views blend into one perfect day. Swim in crystal waters, explore natural sea caves, and unwind at the beautiful Marathi Beach.
Your cruise starts from the Marine Sports Centre in Souda, heading first to the Souda War Cemetery, a WWI memorial dedicated to those who helped liberate Crete.
Next, the boat sails near the legendary islet of Souda, before making its first swim stop at Almyrida Beach – known for its clear, refreshing waters, perfect for a morning dip.
From there, you'll continue to the sea caves of Cape Drepano. The ship enters the caves, letting you marvel at nature’s raw sculptures, carved by the sea – a rare experience not to be missed.
Afterwards, relax at the idyllic Marathi Beach, with its golden sand and calm waters. Here, you'll have plenty of time to swim, sunbathe or visit local monuments.
On your return, the boat passes very close to the islet of Souda, offering excellent photo opportunities and a brief onboard narration about the island’s history.
