Itinerary

  1. Almyrida

    one hour

    The first stop is the beach of Almirida where we anchor. You will have time to enjoy a morning swim in the beautiful refreshing waters of

    the area. After the refreshing swim, the vessel heads to the caves of Cape Drepano, which the sea waves have hewed as a sculpture.

    The caves size allows the ship to enter inside them and give you the chance to watch the “miracle” of what nature has created, to enjoy

    the view and also to get some pictures or video.

  2. Marathi Beach

    3 hours Admission not included

    After this primitive and unique experience, the ship heads to the beach of Marathi, where you will have plenty of time to enjoy this

    beautiful sandy and sunny beach but also to visit the monuments of the area. On the way back, the vessel passes extremely close from

    the islet of Souda where you can take pictures and also listen to the islands history.
