    TOUR DESCRIPTION

    Embark on an unforgettable 4-hour private boat tour and coastal transfer from Souda Bay to Chania, exploring the captivating beauty of the Akrotiri Peninsula.

    The journey begins from your choice of departure point—either the charming small ports of Marathi, Almyrida, or Kalives, or from the conveniently located Souda Marina, just steps away from where cruise ships dock. From any starting point, you’ll set off into the scenic waters of Souda Bay with the backdrop of white-sand beaches, traditional fish tavernas, and local charm.

    Our first destination is the spectacular Seitan Limania, a dramatic natural inlet framed by steep cliffs and vivid turquoise waters. Famous for its wild, rugged beauty, it’s a must-see and a perfect spot for a swim or photo stop.

    From there, we sail toward the stunning Katholiko Bay, the exit of the Avlaki Gorge. This secluded fjord-like bay is carved into the cliffs, offering an almost mystical landscape surrounded by clear, calm waters.

    Continuing along the Akrotiri coastline, we pass the impressive rock formations of Kamarela, meaning “arch” in Greek—a name inspired by the natural stone arches shaped by the sea.

    The journey brings you next to Stavros Bay, the iconic film location of Anthony Quinn’s legendary sirtaki dance in Zorba the Greek. The cinematic charm and serene setting make this bay a cultural and scenic highlight.

    Our final hidden gem is Macherida Beach, a beautiful and peaceful naturist-friendly bay surrounded by unspoiled nature—perfect for a tranquil escape before concluding the tour.

    Your cruise ends at the historic Old Venetian Port of Chania, one of Crete’s most picturesque and lively destinations. To ensure your comfort, private ground transfer back to your original departure point can be arranged upon request.

    Free snorkeling supplies (upon request)- drinks and snacks

    Suggested starting time: 9.00 a.m. and 15.30 p.m.
