Sissi Destination Guide

Sissi

Although close to the lively holiday towns of Hersonissos and Malia, the fishing village of Sissi is a world away, providing a picturesque setting for relaxing holidays to Sissi, Crete, perfect for couples.

The Perfect Place for Family Holidays in Sissi, Crete

At the end of a narrow and somewhat uninspiring track, Sissi is an enchanting surprise as you first catch sight of the idyllic little harbour and deep blue sea which has carved its way into the coast. One-man fishing boats gently sway from the quayside where local fisherman bring back their catch-of-the-day for the many waterside tavernas that are widely renowned for serving the freshest fish specialities .

Opposite the harbour, the small sandy Boufos bay is just the spot to dive into the irresistible clear and calm, warm waters, sheltered by a boulder breakwater and backed by beautifully landscaped hotel gardens. Just around the rocks, Avlaki beach is another unspoilt cove to laze in the sun. Footpaths and cycle tracks lead to secluded coves and are also a pleasurable way to explore the surrounding villages and countryside.

Fabulous Nightlife to Enjoy Whilst on Holiday in Sissi, Crete

For buzzing nightlife, look elsewhere, but for a few quiet drinks and delicious local dishes by the sea, warm Cretan hospitality and a little romance, Sissi is just the spot.
