Marathi Beach Crete Chania Area

Marathi Beach consists of two beautiful and symmetrical sandy bays located on the southeastern coast of the Akrotiri peninsula featuring a landscape of shallow turquoise waters and fine sand that are almost always calm and protected from the northern "meltemi" winds due to their southern orientation in a well-organized environment that is a favorite for local families with young children and offers panoramic views across the Souda Gulf toward the majestic snow-capped White Mountains in the distance where the shoreline is divided by a small fishing harbor and lined with high-quality traditional tavernas specializing in fresh seafood and local Cretan cuisine making it a scenic and peaceful sanctuary that maintains a traditional and welcoming island character.
