Activity itinerary

Port of Souda (Pass by)

As you step off at Souda Port, our welcoming team will be there to greet you just a short distance from your cruise ship. From there, you’ll be escorted to a modern, air-conditioned coach, ready to take you on a memorable journey through western Crete. Settle in and enjoy the ride as you take in the beautiful surroundings, while your guide shares engaging stories and insights about the island’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Holy Trinity Monastery (Agia Triada)

30m
Admission ticket not included

Your first visit will be to the historic Holy Trinity Monastery (Agia Triada), widely regarded as one of the most stunning monasteries in Crete. Dating back to the 17th century, it is admired for its refined architecture and tranquil courtyards. While there, you’ll have time to wander through the grounds, step inside the monastery church, take in the striking exterior, and discover its important contribution to preserving the island’s cultural heritage and traditions.

Stavros Beach

1h 30m

Continue with a picturesque drive across the Akrotiri Peninsula towards the renowned Stavros Beach, a charming bay celebrated for its calm, turquoise waters and striking mountain scenery. The beach gained worldwide recognition as a filming location for the classic film Zorba the Greek. During your time here, you can unwind, take a refreshing swim in the clear waters, walk along the sandy shoreline, or relax at a seaside taverna for refreshments (at your own expense). With its serene atmosphere and breathtaking views, Stavros is an ideal spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty of Crete.

Chania Old Town

1h 15m

Following your beach visit, head to the enchanting historic heart of Chania Old Town, widely considered one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. Here, you’ll take part in a guided walk through its narrow, winding streets, influenced by Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek heritage, as your guide brings the city’s rich history to life. Along the way, you’ll also visit key sights such as the famous Old Venetian Harbour of Chania, celebrated for its colourful waterfront and vibrant atmosphere. After the tour, you’ll have free time to explore on your own, browse local boutiques, or sit back and enjoy a coffee or light meal by the harbour.

Port of Souda

After your time in Chania, sit back and enjoy a relaxing drive back to Souda Port. You’ll be comfortably returned to your cruise ship well ahead of departure, leaving you with lasting memories of Crete’s rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes.
