Sissi Holidays

Set on Crete's northeast coast, the resort of Sisi is known for its quiet, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful landscapes. Holidays in Sissi are centred round the picturesque port and the small beach. Visitors can while away the hours watching pretty fishing boats sailing in and out of the port. The small sandy beach gently slopes into the turquoise sea and is dotted with sun beds and umbrellas. This beach is ideal for families as the wave-breaker ensures the sea is always calm.

Holidays in Sissi offer a good selection of accommodation, including small family-run hotels, self-catering apartments, larger luxurious hotels, as well as a campsite. Sissi's main road features a cluster of cafes and tourist shops, but the majority of cafes and restaurants fringe the port. For a traditional Greek experience, try the locally caught fish dishes served in the family tavernas.

Visitors can explore the numerous hiking and biking trails and discover secluded coves and breathtaking views from the mountains. The resort of Sisi is strategically located for exploring the rest of the island. 25 miles, (40 kilometres) away, visitors can explore Heraklion, with its archaeological museum, pretty squares and narrow streets, the busy harbour town of Aghios Nikolaos, or the magnificent Minoan Palace of Knossos.
