All about the trip
Enjoy a day on a beautiful uninhabited Chrissi Island and relax on its gorgeous beaches. Have fun swimming and snorkeling in the warm and crystal clear waters, collecting diverse sea shells and exploring the ancient cedar forest.
We will pick you up in your hotel anywhere between Malia and Agia Pelagia and drive in an air-conditioned bus to the city of Ierapetra. From there we will take a boat to the Chrissi Island. Boats in this area are often accompanied by yellow-legged gulls and also by dolphins.
After a short sail we will land on the island where we will discover magical beaches to relax, swim and sunbathe. There is an amazing cedar forest with 200-years old trees.
If you feel like exploring the island you can visit the old port with a lighthouse, see the Church of Saint Nicolas, Minoan ruins and visit a Roman cemetery. There is also a salt marsh for you to see.
