האי כריסיChrissi Island
The South-east of Crete is the ideal vacation destination as it counts itself as one of the
increasingly few yet undiscovered corners of our beautiful island. Near our villas, there are
countless hiking trails, minoan paths, and the famous Sarakina Gorge. On your hikes you
will be accompanied by the scents of Crete: thyme, oregano and pine. Cistus flowers bloom
in all colors along the roadside.
Just a five minute drive from our hotel is the seaside village of Myrtos, where you can
experience first hand the hospitality of the locals. It is situated just off the beach it lends its
name to. There you can find a supermarket, a small shop with local fruits and vegetables, a
bakery, and a butcher’s. Its many local taverns offer delicious traditional dishes at affordable
prices. Its many cafes offer a lovely view of the sea which only serves to complement the
tasty local treats. You could also have your coffee delivered directly to the sun loungers on
the beach. For those who prefer a quieter place, they can find their spot under the shade of
the tamarisk trees.
For the more adventurous visitor our hotel is the perfect starting point for day trips and
excursions. We are surrounded by many picturesque villages, perfect to hike or drive to. An
abundance of crystal-clear-water beaches are only a stone’s throw away. One of our beloved
day trips is to the pristine island of Chrisi by way of Ierapetra. Ierapetra, only ten minutes
away by car, itself is worth a visit as it offers a plethora of historical sites following the
island’s deep history from antiquity to modern day.
