El. Venizelou 149, Hersonissos, Crete
Discover the turquoise coastline of northwest Crete on a guided stand-up paddleboard adventure in Marathi Bay. This 2-hour small-group tour is perfect for beginners and intermediate paddlers alike. After a short onshore lesson covering balance, turning, and paddling techniques, set off across calm, wind-protected waters with a certified instructor leading the way. Glide along the scenic coast, admire impressive rock formations, and dive into crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim. Keep your eyes open — the area is home to marine life including the famous Caretta caretta sea turtles. You’ll also discover sea urchins, native fish, and learn about the fragile Mediterranean ecosystem. One of the highlights is a stop at natural argile rocks, where you can enjoy a fun and rejuvenating white clay “natural spa” experience straight from nature. With plenty of time to swim, relax, take photos, and soak up the Cretan sun, this experience combines adventure, relaxation, and authentic connection with nature. Plus, you’ll receive free GoPro photos and a short video to relive the moment long after your holiday ends. Free transfers are included from the Chania region, making this an easy and unforgettable addition to your stay in Chania.
