AROUND
Located along the southeastern coast of the Akrotiri Peninsula thirty minutes from Chania, the picturesque Souda Bay and Marathi face south with lovely views of Drapanos Cape and the White Mountains. Its two beautiful Blue Flag beaches are separated by a small pier and harbor for fishing boats and ferries and there are great seaside restaurants and cafes to make a day of it.
Just offshore is the small island of Paleosouda, which can be reached only by boat or a short swim. A charming uninhabited wooded isle, its steep western coast is a popular diving spot. The road north leads to some interesting Roman ruins with traces of ancient baths and structures.
The historic old port town of Chania lies along the northern coast with its Venetian harbor, seaside palaces and busy resorts.
You are within about an hour’s drive to the medieval archeological heritage village of Maroulas situated just a few miles from the Venetian harbor town of Rethymno along the northern coast. The western coast features wild natural landscapes and two of the top ten ranked beaches in Greece: Balos and Elafonisi. A quieter less populated region, it stretches from Balos and Falasarna to Livadia, Elafonisi and the Krios peninsula in Paleohora and Kissamos to the north and follows along the seaside route of the European E4 hiking path.
