Cretan Daily Cruises - Chrissi Islands
About Cretan Daily Cruises - Chrissi Islands
Italy · August 2026Beautiful and natural island.
France · August 2026Excellent excursion. Chrissi is magnificent. Bring water shoes. You'll have to swim from the boat to the beach, as it's not allowed to get close. If you really can't swim, a Zodiac will take those who have difficulty swimming, as well as all the backpacks, to the shore. Plan to eat your meal a few minutes after arriving on board, as there's nothing on the island. A small parasol is necessary because it's very hot and there's no shade. Snorkels and inflatable vests are available; I recommend taking a look at the underwater world—it's breathtakingly beautiful. The three of us loved our trip (about 2 hours round trip on the boat and 3 hours on the island).
France · August 2026The boat trip was very pleasant. The staff was helpful and attentive. Upon arrival on Chrissi Island, bags were transported by small boat, as were those who couldn't swim or didn't want to swim to the beach. The water was magnificent: clear, warm, and perfect for swimming. However, the biggest disappointment concerned the island itself. We were sold "a true corner of paradise," an island "protected by the Natura 2000 network, where nature still reigns in its purest form." Unfortunately, the reality was quite different. In some places, the island resembled a veritable open-air dump. Broken glass bottles, gas cylinders, pieces of plastic, and all sorts of trash were scattered about. It's truly regrettable that such an exceptional site isn't maintained. With a proper cleanup, this place could truly be the little paradise it was advertised to be. We left with a feeling of disappointment at this sorry sight. On the other hand, if you wish to enjoy a nice swim as soon as you arrive, I advise you to cross the island to reach the sandy beach located on the other side.
