CRISSI ISLAND

CRISSI ISLAND

CHRISSI island
can be found off the south coast of Crete, opposite to the town of IERAPETRA.
As soon as we arrive to IERAPETRA by coach, we will board on the boat
for our journey to the small paradise island.

The boat journey
takes around 1 hour and we may see a wild dolphin or two on our way if we are
lucky enough!

The sea around the island is filled with fossils on volcanic rocks, which have
been there since the island of Chrissi was still immersed in the sea. The total
of some 49 species of fossils have been found, dating from 350,000 to 70,000
years ago .

East of Golden,
at 700 meters, there is another island called Mikronisi, where one can admire
the hundreds of seagulls that have taken refuge.

Due to its natural ecosystem and the incredible beauty, The Golden is part
of the European landscape protection program Scenic NATURA 2000.
