Chrissi island

An unforgettable cruise to one of the southern points in Europe, the Golden Island, or, as it is also called, Donkey Island.

You will go by bus to the southernmost city in Europe - Ierapetra (approximately 1.5 hours), from where an unforgettable cruise on a small boat to one of the southernmost points in Europe begins.

For about an hour, you will sail south along the Libyan Sea, approaching the island at a distance of about 30 meters, we will stop for a swim for 2 hours. Then we will head to the south coast, where we also stop for swimming 30 meters from the coast.

The island of Chrissi, which means "golden" in Greek, is located at a distance of only 8 nautical miles from Ierapetra, and in terms of area it is no more than 5 sq.km.

Chrissi Island has been uninhabited for the last few centuries. But earlier there was a settlement here, as evidenced by the documents from ancient church of St. Nicholas.

Chrissi Island is a nature reserve and is protected by the state. In natural conditions, Lebanese cedar and juniper grows there. The average age of the trees is 200 years, and the height is 7-8 meters. The lack of fresh water makes the island mysterious.

Chrissi is famous for its white sandy beaches, sand dunes, crystal clear sea and variety of colorful shells!

Swimming in the warm Libyan Sea will bring a lot of pleasure. The sea around the island has a shallow debth and is ideal for snorkelling.

Embark on this little journey into a fairy tale and you will never forget this day!
