Holidays to Sissi dole out a dose of authentic Greece, served up with a side of seafood. Plus, if you want to take things up a gear, Malia and Aghios Nikolaos are both within reach.
Seafood spot
If you’re looking for a taste of traditional Greece, you can’t go wrong with a stay in Sissi. This fishing village attracts locals and tourists alike to its seafront tavernas, which have earned a reputation for serving up some seriously good seafood. Although this place is up-and-coming, with a cluster of new hotels and restaurants springing up over the last few years, it’s kept its low-key, laidback feel.
Chilled-out beaches
Sissi’s got you covered when it comes to swimming. Its beaches match its chilled-out attitude, and Boufos is its main strip of sand – we’re talking calm waters, a taverna for food and drink and a smattering of umbrellas to keep things shady. And, you can head over to the man-made Kalimera Kriti Beach if you want to join in with some watersports.
