Overall rating

(257 reviews)

Positive. My friend and I left from the center of Heraklion. It was easy to find the meeting point where the bus passed. The trip is long because it makes many stops but I must say that it was very comfortable especially considering the roads of Crete. On the way back to make it easier to get back to our hotel, they took us in a minivan. The trip by boat lasts at least 1 hour and the return was quite rough because of the sea, on the island bring rock shoes in addition to what was indicated because even though the beach is sandy the shallow sea is full of rocks and even sea urchins. I do not recommend the excursion with children because there is no shade and the trips are very long.

It was a very pleasant day. We started by yacht to the island of Chrissi, then spent about 1.5 hours swimming from the island, then had a delicious Greek lunch back on the boat and finally the best part. A bay with a Maldives look. Swimming in the crystal clear water from the boat and enjoying the sun. Then back to Ierapetra. This trip is highly recommended.

The journey is long but it is really worth it. The water of Chrissi is crystal clear, beautiful. The guide, Elena, is friendly and helpful. The stretch that you have to swim is very short and doable, some with children in their arms had no problems. I recommend it!

Big favorite if you want to swim in the crystal waters, magnificent excursion I highly recommend it and if you have a baby don't be afraid the staff will take great care of your family if I return to the crest I would go on this excursion without hesitation!

No improvements! Myself and the family had the best time with Micky. it was absolutely perfect and such a fun beautiful memory for us all … thank you so much!
