Chrissi is a small sub tropical island 8 miles south of Ierapetra, Crete, in the Lybian Sea. A little paradise with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and a unique cedar forest.
Take a boat at 10.00 am (or there about) from the quay of
Ierapetra to visit this small uninhabited island 8 miles south. Boats return to Ierapetra at 5.00 pm.
Take your scuba diving equipment as it is worth paying a visit to the beautiful underwater scenery.
There is a tavern where basic food can be had as well as plenty of fresh fish as it is the fishermen shelter.
Meet the fishermen returning with the catch, have a chat or even organize to accompany them in their next venture.
If you are lucky to make some friends this way - it is not that difficult with Greeks - you will feel privileged when invited at midday for a plate of
kakavia the fish soup made with all sorts of tasty small fish, washed with some excellent local white wine.
You can buy your tickets on board just before departure.
