Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Devil's Bay

We begin our journey with a visit to one of Crete's most scenic spots – Devil's Bay. After a short and easy trek, you'll arrive at a viewpoint offering stunning views of this unusual bay.

Despite its ominous name, surrounded by majestic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, Devil's Bay is the perfect place for a photo session. You can take amazing pictures against the backdrop of Crete's wild nature.

Accessing the bay can be challenging, as it is tucked away between steep cliffs, making it difficult to reach by sea.

Attention!! The descent to the beach is very steep. Sports shoes are required.

Stop 2

Marafi Beach

After enjoying the spectacular views of Devil's Bay, we will head to one of the best beaches in the region – Marafi Beach. This is a wonderful spot for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing.

Marathi Beach is known for its soft sands and calm waters, perfect for swimming. Here you can enjoy sunbathing, relax under beach umbrellas (upon request), and swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. There are cafes on the beach where you can purchase refreshing drinks and light snacks.

Nestled along the coast, Marathi Beach boasts crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand that will captivate your senses. Immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere and take in the stunning coastal views while savoring a delicious meal at a traditional tavern nearby. With its serene ambiance and picturesque surroundings, Marathi Beach offers the perfect setting for a memorable day of relaxation and enjoyment.

After enjoying Marathi Beach, we will head to the Old Town of Chania, renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Here, you can wander through the narrow streets, enjoy the view of the Venetian harbor, and visit various historical landmarks such as the Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Fortress Wall. The old town also has many local shops where you can purchase souvenirs, and traditional cafes and restaurants offering delicious local dishes and drinks. Chania will transport you back to a time when Crete was a crossroads of sea routes and cultures, providing you with unforgettable impressions of its history and local inhabitants.
