MARATHI
The most popular beach at Akrotiri, ideal for families.
Marathi beach is located 17 km east of Chania, in the Akrotiri peninsula. It is a beautiful sandy beach with shallow water, and protected by summer winds, due to its orientation.

The beach is well organized with sunbeds, parasols, showers, lifeguard service etc. It also has infrastructure for disabled persons. Close to the beach you can find taverns, restaurants and cafes providing all the food and drinks you may need.
