Marathi is one of the most popular seaside destinations in Akrotiri, Chania, built on the southeastern shores of the peninsula with a unique view of Souda Bay and the White Mountains.

The village is famous for its two beautiful sandy beaches with shallow and always calm waters, as the bay is protected from northern winds.

The area attracts families and sea lovers, while a short distance from the shore lies the islet of Paleosouda, which offers opportunities for sea exploration. Nearby is also Loutraki beach, another favorite holiday destination in the region.

In the sectors of hospitality and dining, Marathi features high-level infrastructure, including luxury hotel units such as the JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa, as well as traditional lodgings. Renowned fish taverns and restaurants operate along the beach, serving fresh seafood and Cretan cuisine, offering a complete leisure experience by the sea.

Access to the village is easy via the Akrotiri road network, directly connecting it to the city of Chania and the airport. Marathi combines sea tranquility with luxury and tradition, representing one of the most beloved spots for locals and visitors alike.
