    Description

    Set sail from Ierapetra, Crete's southernmost town, to the stunning island of Chrissi, a designated Wildlife Refuge. Chrissi Island is a hidden gem in the Mediterranean, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches. Known for its golden sand and exotic waters, Chrissi is a true paradise that offers visitors a unique glimpse into nature's untouched beauty. The island is home to ancient cedar forests, with trees more than 200 years old, as well as fossilized remains of marine life, making it a fascinating location for nature lovers.

    The cruise, aboard the comfortable ship "Aristovoulos" departs from the port of Ierapetra, offering a relaxing journey that lasts about an hour. As the boat anchors close to the shore, you will be able to swim in the calm, turquoise waters of Chrissi's selected beaches, such as Chrissi Ammos or Belegrina. The ship also sails close to the island, allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline and its multi-colored rocky landscape. The surrounding waters are perfect for water activities, with equipment provided on board for snorkeling, kayaking and more.
