What To Expect

Ierapetra is located on the south coast of Crete. As it is the only town in the south, it is also called the bride of the Libyan Sea.
From Ierapetra’s port, we will be embarking on the boat and start our sail towards Chrissi island.

• Admission Ticket Free

Chrissi Island
Chrissi Island or Gaidouronisi, meaning Golden Beach or Donkey Island is an uninhabited island 9 miles south of the town of Ierapetra. Most of the island is covered with golden sand and ¼ of the island is covered from the rare variety of Lebanon cedars. The boat anchors on the south side of the island. There is a path running through the island and its cedar forest to the beach of Belegrina or Chrissi Ammos, an exotic beach. On the east side of the beach, one can find a wide variety of seashells. You can explore another beach called Kataprosopo that faces Mikronisi, an island on the east of Chrissi. On the west side of Pelegrina, a rockier landscape is found on your way to the chapel of Agios Nikolaos and the island’s lighthouse, both worth a visit. As you will be located in one of the southernmost parts of Europe, make sure to relax and enjoy a day in an unspoiled environment by swimming in turquoise crystal clear waters, sunbathe and rest under a cedar tree.
