The first stop is the beach of Almirida where we anchor. You will have time to enjoy a morning swim in the beautiful refreshing waters of
the area. After the refreshing swim, the vessel heads to the caves of Cape Drepano, which the sea waves have hewed as a sculpture.
The caves size allows the ship to enter inside them and give you the chance to watch the “miracle” of what nature has created, to enjoy
the view and also to get some pictures or video.
After this primitive and unique experience, the ship heads to the beach of Marathi, where you will have plenty of time to enjoy this
beautiful sandy and sunny beach but also to visit the monuments of the area. On the way back, the vessel passes extremely close from
the islet of Souda where you can take pictures and also listen to the islands history.
