Sissi Crete

Sissi Crete

Sissi CreteSissi Crete is located 40 km from Iraklion and 25 km from Agios Nikolaos, near to all the places you should see but yet quiet and calm. If you're one for peace and quiet and want to get away from commercial holidays, then Sissi is the place for you.
The landscape is well balanced between sea and mountains. The sea is warm and calm and there are small, clean and romantic beaches.

The main street in Sissi is an untidy and unpretentious affair, which should by no means put you off. As charming as Sissi’s modest streets are the real gem of village can be found when you reach the traditional little port lapped by an aquamarine ocean. The sunlight turns the wavelets beyond the breakwater into a million dancing diamonds as the beauty of Sissi is revealed.

Nightlife in Sissi

There are only a limited number of bars and tavernas in Sissi which to some is it's main appeal. Do not expect nightclubs open till dawn with loud music, this resort is for those craving peace and quiet. However, if peace and quiet is not your thing, you can head to Malia and Hersonissos, both of which have many bars and clubs. Malia is only a few km away.

Places to See

Served well by the efficient bus service KTEL, Sissi is a scenic coastal bus ride from nearby pretty Agios Nikolaos. Other excursions can take you to nearby Spinalonga, the Minoan Palace of Malia and the Lassithi plain with its windmills.
