Details

Join us on an exciting full day boat trip to the island of Chrissi and Ierepetra. We will begin our journey by picking you up from your accommodation and driving you to the port of Ierepetra. Here you will step aboard our comfortable boat and set sail across the turquoise Libyan Sea to the stunning, uninhabited Chrissi Island. Famous for its Golden Beach, this stretch of golden sand meets crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing. Dive from the boat for a refreshing swim, or head to the shore to enjoy a walk on this beautiful beach. Alternatively, you can enjoy a leisurely walk around Chrissi Island, capturing breathtaking views of its natural wonders. The island boasts one of Europe’s largest natural cedar forests, offering a peaceful walk among ancient trees. Be sure to look for interesting fossils and shells on the beaches, which are traces of ancient sea life. After our 6-hour cruise, we will return to the port of Ierepetra. Here you will have approximately 30 minutes of free time to explore this charming coastal town. Finally, we will conclude our trip and drive you back to your accommodation, leaving you with wonderful memories of your day on Chrissi Island.
