Souda (for Chania) cruises, Greece

What's great about Souda (for Chania) cruises?

Souda sits just 15 minutes’ drive from Chania – one of Crete’s most charming cities. Most snap-happy tourists pin the old harbour on their maps, with its lighthouse, pastel-painted buildings, and a café-lined promenade. If history calls, there’s plenty of museums, from the Maritime Museum set in a former Venetian prison to the Archaeological Museum, tucked inside a Gothic church.

• Work your way along Chania’s Skridlof Street, AKA Leather Lane. It’s stuffed with shops selling shoes, bags and belts, plus other items like handmade jewellery and clothes.
• Visit Agia Triada Monastery, perched almost in the clouds on a pillar-like rock outside Chania. Built by Venetian monks, it offers history and views that stretch for miles.
• Taste your way through Cretan flavours – think fresh cheeses, honey, and olive oil straight from the press – or sip a local wine at a family-run winery.
