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.

Pick was a disaster , coach was late and a coach arrived and told us to get on only to find it wasn’t the right coach trip . They let us off the next stop , I rushed back to the original pick up point and tore my Achilles . They need to have a sign the window specifying what trip .??

A great trip, with friendly staff with an unexpected welcome on the quayside in Marathi which was really cute. The captain keeps you well entertained with lots of information and Greek dancing. The snack is a full lunch with lots of wine. a great trip and would recommend

Me and my wife have been on a few boat trips before but this one we enjoyed so much the captain was so funny and so entertaining it made our day. My wife is visually impaired and hard of hearing and him and the other crew was so helpful. Would recommend this to anyone one thank you for a memorable day.

Captain Spiridon was a really fun guy. He was certain to keep us all safe, but he also showcased his dancing skills and had us all doing Zorba the Greek, plus he came swimming with us all as well. A great trip all round, thank you!

The transfer was in a very old minibus with no suspension and no air conditioning. It was a very unpleasant 90 mins. The boat tour, however, was excellent
