From Chania, we head eastwards to start our day tour of the Akrotiri peninsula. Our first stop is the small, secluded, sandy beach of Macherida. The beach is named after the wild gladioli (Gladiolus italicus) that grow in the fields behind the beach during the spring.
We then continue towards the sandy, protected beach of Stavros, well-known from the film “Zorba the Greek”. After a swim (and maybe a dance?) we jump onboard and circle the north side of the headland stopping at the narrow creek of Katholiko, at the mouth of the narrow and impressive gorge.. the deep blue sea invites us to cool off! Next up, is Seitan Limani beach, where we enjoy the crystal, turquoise waters from our boat, away from the crowds.
Not far away, we come to Marathi island and beach, a wonderful place to stop for lunch. In the afternoon, we make our way back to the old harbour of Chania, if we´re lucky, we might see turtles!

This was a highlight of our 14 day trip to Greece. Pablo made the day perfect. I highly recommend this private trip. We went to several tiny beaches only accessible by boat.

Nikolas, who manages the business, was really helpful and gave pertinent advice about the weather (when to rent and when not to rent). Tasso, our skipper for the day, was a nautical gem - understood the sea and took us to the marvellous small bays and coves around Marathi - crystal clear water and great for snorkelling. A wonderful boat trip.
