Discover the natural beauty of Chrissi on this excursion from Malia. Spend a day exploring a stunning deserted island!
Chrissi Island Excursion
Want to spend a day on a deserted island? Your wish is our command! We'll pick you up at your hotel in Malia at 8 am and head to Ierapetra, where a boat will be waiting to take us to the island of Chrissi. Let the adventure begin!
As we make our way to the island, we'll take in beautiful vistas of the Libyan Sea. If we're lucky, we may even see the local dolphins that inhabit these waters. After a short cruise, we'll arrive at Chrissi, the perfect destination for an unforgettable day.
You'll explore the island, admiring the beauty of its pristine beaches, shell fossils in the volcanic rocks and its cedar forest. Your guide will tell you all about the particularities of the island, which was once submerged underwater!
Some other places that are sure to catch your attention are the small church of St. Nicholas and the carved Roman tombs - Chrissi is full of surprises! After touring the island, you'll have an hour of free time to relax on the beach and take a refreshing swim.
At the end of the excursion, we'll return to the boat and head back to Ierapetra. You'll then be taken back to your hotel, arriving around 8 pm.
