Why embark on the Macherida cruise

Macherida beach awaits as a hidden coastal treasure, showcasing unspoiled splendor and a serene sense of seclusion. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, this tranquil oasis stands as a refuge for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Stretching along the coastline, its crescent-shaped beach boasts soft, golden sands that gently slope into the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea. Hidden inside a rocky gulf, Macherida beach offers a postcard-worthy backdrop at every turn.

Spend your time lounging on the beach, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves or venture out for a leisurely stroll along the shore and get lost in the natural beauty that surrounds you.

Our tip: It’s a fantastic spot for a private sunset cruise, as it directly faces the Gulf of Chania, offering breathtaking landscapes.

Keep in mind: Macherida beach is popular with nudists.

You can glide effortlessly through the azure expanse to discover an incredible sea world full of tiny fish. The clarity of the waters is due to the fact that its currents keep changing direction throughout the day.

The calmness of the waters is another reason it has become a playground for snorkelers. With its gentle currents and still waters, it beckons you to explore its peaceful depths.

Beneath the glassy surface, a world of serene beauty unfolds, with delicate coral reefs and graceful marine life swaying in the undisturbed waters.

Our tip: Keep an eye out for rocky outcrops and shallow reefs, as these are often havens for colorful fish and other fascinating marine species.

Macherida beach is named after the Greek word macheri, meaning “knife” due to its rocky cape in the northern end of the beach, which looks exactly like a knife. So, its name is the reflection of its geographical features.

Is it so? However, many people claim that it got its name from the special flower “macherida” (Gladiolus italicus) that grows in that area.
