Start your boat cruise from the port of Ierapetra and head to the exotic Chrissi. Sail in the emerald waters of the Libyan Sea, accompanied by seagulls and dolphins. The self-service bar of the ship remains open during the cruise, offering light meals, with salads, wine, soft drinks, coffee, and ice cream available to purchase. Jump off the boat and swim in the refreshing water off the coast of Chrissi Island.

What people are saying about Chrissi Island

Overall rating

4.2 / 5

based on 257 reviews

We had to stay in the boat with my companion because he felt unwell. The whole team on the boat was there for us that day! We highly recommend this activity because the island is still beautiful and the water is sublime. On the other hand, be careful there is a lot of roll so the boat moves a lot.

Pros: -Good price at 27€ for a 6 hour stay -Well organized team -Good prices for beer and Co. -Super friendly team Cons The island looks better on pictures than in real life, but it's still worth a visit.

A paradise!!!!! Too bad only for the boats used to do in our opinion on a catamaran

Superb experience, swim and walk on the island on foot. Provide waterproof bag.

Helpful staff. Crazy island. Advice: rock shoes waterproof bag min 5 liters.
