About
Nestled within Souda Bay with views of the White Mountains, the turquoise waters of Marathi Beach remain calm and tranquil even when winds bring crashing waves to other beaches in the area. The tradeoff is a rocky sea floor—water shoes are advised as it can be sharp underfoot. Crete sightseeing cruises and scuba diving tours anchor here, and paddleboards, kayaks, and pedalos are available for hire. Arrive in the morning to secure a sunbed and an umbrella and cap off the day with a delightful meal at one of the seafood tavernas found at both ends of the beach. – Tripadvisor
