Paleochora to Sougia is the westernmost leg of Crete's south-coast boat line, taking 30 to 45 minutes with ANENDYK. The Daskalogiannis, Samaria and Loutro Spirit all cover it at different times. There is no coastal road between the two, so the boat is the direct route; going by land means a long detour inland.
Sougia is a small, low-key village on a pebble beach, with a long-standing alternative reputation and very little development. There are tavernas along the front, a scattering of rooms, and the Agia Irini gorge walk finishing nearby. Facilities are limited compared with Paleochora, so it suits people who want quiet rather than choice.
Boats run once or twice a day in season and are subject to cancellation in southerly winds. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Sougia is also a stop on the run east towards Agia Roumeli, which makes it a practical staging point for walking the coast in sections.
