Marathi is a popular seaside resort for both locals and tourists, known for its two fully organized beaches located on either side of a small pier. Situated on the southeast coast of Akrotiri, facing south, Marathi offers stunning views of the Lefka Ori (White Mountains) and almost always provides a pleasant swimming experience, sheltered from the wind. The beaches feature shallow turquoise waters and fine white sand, making them ideal for family outings. Marathi Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag for its high standards of cleanliness and safety.
Approximately 400 meters offshore lies the islet of Marathi (or Palaiosouda), whose steep western cliffs attract divers. The beautiful scenery of Marathi is enhanced by this islet, adding to the overall charm of the location.
Nearby, visitors can explore the archaeological site of Ancient Minoa and visit the picturesque chapel of Saint Spyridon, both of which are just a short distance from the twin beaches of Marathi. These historical and cultural sites add an extra layer of interest to a visit to this resort.
