Boat Trip to Ombrogialos, Drepano & Marathi

Our adventure begins in Admiral Island —a small islet steeped in local maritime
history. Legend has it that the islet was used as a naval observation point, but today it offers something equally valuable: a quiet spot to snorkel and enjoy the raw
beauty of the sea. Swim around its rocky edges and discover an underwater world
full of life and color.

Our next destination is the remote and peaceful Sosorides beach. Tucked between
cliffs and completely inaccessible by land, this hidden gem offers total seclusion. Here, the only sounds you’ll hear are the waves and the occasional seabird
overhead. It’s the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and immerse yourself in the raw
nature of Crete’s coast.

We then cruise toward the well-known bay of Marathi, where calm, sandy shores
and peaceful waters welcome us for a longer stop. Here you can swim, sunbathe, or
optionally enjoy a delicious lunch at a seaside taverna, with fresh fish and traditional
Cretan dishes served right by the water. It’s the perfect place to unwind in a
picturesque and family-friendly environment.

As we continue our journey, we make a last refreshing stop at Marathi Island, just
across from our starting point. This small island gives you one more chance to swim,
dive off the boat, or enjoy a snack and a drink while taking in the serene view of
Marathi from the sea.

We continue our journey at the striking cove of Ombrogialos, a small natural harbor
with crystal-clear turquoise waters nestled between tall limestone cliffs. This is a
dream spot for swimming and snorkeling in pure, untouched sea. The depth and
clarity of the water make it feel like a giant natural swimming pool.

Next, we head toward Drepano, a rugged cape known for its wild beauty, caves, and
rich marine life. The dramatic cliffs and sea grottos make it a fascinating place for
exploring by boat or mask and snorkel. Here, you can swim in peace or float beside
the rocks while listening to the sea echoing through the caves — a true hidden gem.

Our journey continues to the tranquil bay of Koutalas, a calm and sheltered spot
known for its peace and natural charm. This area is ideal for a relaxing swim or a
refreshing dip in the shallow, clear water. Sea caves carved into the coastline add a
touch of adventure to the stop, and the quiet setting makes it perfect for those seeking privacy and calm.

*Next stop is Kalami offers the perfect end to your journey—a peaceful, secluded
spot with clear waters and picturesque scenery. Enjoy a swim or relax by the shore,
soaking in the beauty of the island before we make our way back.

* Our final stop is Ai Yiannis, a picturesque coastal area near a small chapel, offering
panoramic views of the surrounding sea and hills. This quiet location is perfect for
reflecting on the day’s journey and enjoying the calm before returning to Souda.
