Sisi

About

Standing in sharp contrast to the bustling tourist hubs, Sissi is charming village where that has preserved its traditional way of life. The heart of the village is its port, which teems with fishing boats, and you'll likely find local fishermen at work while their wives clean the day’s catch. Explore the narrow streets, adorned with colorful doors, before sitting down at one of the many renowned tavernas, which serve up some of the best seafood on the island. The village’s sheltered location makes it an ideal base for exploring local beaches, such as the main Boufos Beach as well as smaller and more secluded spots like Avlaki, Kalimera Kriti and Limani being perfect for families with young children. In addition to its natural beauty, Sissi offers a range of hiking and biking trails, as well as excellent birdwatching opportunities, thanks to the many rare bird species that call the area home. For those who want to delve into the region’s rich history, the Monastery of Agios Georgios and the Malian Palace Archaeological Site are just a short distance away.
