Experience a leisurely boat trip in the north of Crete, navigating the calm expanse of Souda Bay. The bay extends several kilometres between the Akrotiri peninsula and Cape Drapano, Explore Souda Island's intriguing rock formations and white cliffs, and stop for a cooling swim and snorkel in the clear Aegean Sea. Finish your journey in Marathi, known for its shallow beaches, fine sand, and plentiful seaside cafes.

Best experience had to date & been on many. Captain made the day fun, safe and brilliant!! Definately recommend this excursion for anyone. We even saw a HUGE turtle! Many fish & flying fish. Excellent.

A fun trip with an excellent host, the coach driver is the boat captain! Would be good to see more people from the UK on the trip though. Opportunity to jump into the sea from the boat and see a different part of Crete.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The lunch was described as a snack but it was quite substantial and tasty with chicken skewers, chips & pitta breads. The staff were great and entertaining. Enjoyed both stop offs for swimming in the sea & at the beach. Staff provided a little bit of history too. Really good value trip. Definitely recommend it.

Enjoyable tip, coach driver is also the captain of the boat, very entertaining, would recommend.

The crew were lovely. Very informative and made the day fun.
