Overview:

Once a fishing village only really accessible by boat, Sissi is now fully developed as a tourist resort. While there is a general untidiness about the place, it has a quaint, slow air very different from the rather manic neighbouring resort of Malia. Main focal points are the centrally placed church and an attractive harbourside fronted by cafes and bars.

This small fishing village is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes from the airport. It has a beautifully-curved sand and shingle beach, a relaxed atmosphere and low key nightlife that will appeal to families and couples. Boasting wonderful seafood restaurants, a handful of shops and a sprinkling of tavernas. Sissi is a perfect place to recharge your energy in the sun. Experience authentic Cretan hospitality and swim in calm warm waters.

This resort mainly suits those who want to avoid the larger resorts without being too remote, caters for the budget conscious as well as those seeking some luxury. It is highly recommended for families, couples and anyone not wanting to be in close proximity to rowdy teenagers.

The accommodation here is predominantly middle-of-the-road self-catering establishments along with some first-class hotels.
