Thodorou Island - Macherida Beach
An exclusive itinerary to explore 2 coveted gems
Swim and snorkel in Thodorou island, a natural wonderland with rich marine biodiversity, and then relax on the sun-kissed shores of Macherida beach, a golden-sand bay. Just a stone’s throw from Chania port, this destination duo promises the ultimate coastal escapade.
Why embark on the Thodorou-Macherida cruise
You start your cruise from Thodorou, a cluster of 2 small islands just 10 minutes from the Venetian port of Chania, with everything you can dream of: azure waters, white sandy beaches and a rocky landscape.
This Natura-protected area serves as a sanctuary for the kri-kri, the endangered wild goat of Crete. If you are lucky enough, you may catch a glimpse of these agile goats.
The waters surrounding Thodorou island are home to a variety of colorful fish and can offer a unique snorkeling experience. While exploring the seabed, try to spot the wreck of the German WWII aircraft Junker 52 resting on the bottom.
A taste of history: You can see the ruins of the Venetian castle on the southern part of the island, just above a huge cave.

Next stop on your cruise is Macherida beach, a hidden coastal treasure, showcasing unspoiled splendor and a serene sense of seclusion. Far removed from the hustle of city life, this oasis of tranquility offers a refuge for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Its golden sands, gently sloping into the crystal-clear waters of the Cretan Sea, will take your breath away. The clarity and calmness of the waters with their gentle currents give you the chance to glide effortlessly into its incredible sea world.
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.
