Located in western Crete, Souda Bay is a large natural harbor and strategic point for commercial and military uses. The town holds restaurants and cafes for visitors to enjoy, but the beaches can be found by taking a ferry over to Akrotiri. For those interested in the history of the island, the fortress ruins have been restored recently and show barracks, supply depots, churches, and houses. Visitors can also take a trip to the Moronis River Lagoon for great bird-watching, unique vegetation, and a chance to fish with the locals.
