Discover Crete aboard this boat trip to Chrissi Island, departing from the beautiful city of Ierapetra! We will sail for one hour until we reach the waters around Chrissi Island. In the heart of the South Cretan Sea, it is known for its clear waters in all the shades of blue and green, the golden beaches - where it got its name from -, and the protected forest with the cedar trees, which are over 200 years old.

Good to know
In order to protect the unique natural ecosystem of the island of Chrissi, it is not allowed to disembark on the island this summer. The ship approaches the island and anchors in a leeward spot near a selected beach for swimming in crystal clear water, a short distance from the shore to facilitate access for passengers who want to reach the island by swimming. The use of the island's beaches is allowed. Access to the interior of the island and the use of the shade of the junipers are prohibited.
