Some of Crete’s most beautiful places are best discovered from the sea, and this full-day catamaran cruise from Souda is a perfect example.

Departing from Souda Port, you’ll sail through one of the island’s largest natural bays, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, secluded coves, and clear waters. Depending on weather conditions, your captain will select the most suitable destination for the day, usually the sheltered waters of Marathi Bay or the stunning Omprogialos area. Both offer exceptional swimming conditions and spectacular coastal scenery.

As the catamaran glides across the waters of Souda Bay, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to relax on deck, admire the changing landscape, and enjoy a slower side of Crete that many visitors never experience.

Upon reaching the anchorage, you’ll have ample time to swim in turquoise waters, snorkel around the coastline, or try paddleboarding. The sheltered bays of this region are known for their excellent water clarity, making them ideal for exploring the underwater world.

One of the highlights of the day is undoubtedly the food. Freshly prepared onboard using quality local ingredients, your Mediterranean-style meal celebrates the flavors of Crete and the wider Mediterranean. Accompanied by wine, beer, soft drinks, and water, lunch becomes an experience in itself rather than simply a meal.

At True Cretan, we carefully select sailing experiences that combine authentic hospitality, comfort, and a genuine connection with the destination. This cruise perfectly reflects that philosophy! 

Rather than rushing between tourist hotspots, you’ll spend the day immersed in the beauty of Chania’s coastline, enjoying the sea exactly as locals do.
