Catamaran Boat Cruise to Chrissi Island from Ierapetra

Ierapetra is the fourth-largest city on the Greek island of Crete, located on the southeastern coast. As the southernmost city of Europe, Ierapetra is known for its mild Mediterranean climate and long beaches. On this boat cruise from Ierapetra, you'll sail to Chrissi Island, a small, uninhabited island in the Libyan Sea, situated about 15 km (9 mi) south of the city.

For this adventure, you can choose a group or private option, depending on whether you wish to be alone on the boat with your group or not. The trip starts at Ierapetra Port, where you'll board the comfortable catamaran (pick-up from your specified accommodation is available for an additional cost). You'll be greeted by the certified Captain and crew and receive a welcome drink. After a quick safety briefing, the boat tour to Chrissi Island begins! You'll start sailing along Crete's beautiful southern coast on the deep blue waters of the Libyan Sea.

After a scenic journey of about 1.5 hours, you'll arrive at the island. Chrissi Island is a unique destination home to white, sandy beaches, cedar forests, and volcanic terrain. The boat will dock in the bay and you'll swim or use a small inflatable boat to reach the shore. Snorkelling gear and stand up paddle boarding equipment are available for you to discover the underwater world and have some fun in the water! You can also explore the stunning island on land, investigating its fossilized shells, sand dunes, and rocky outcrops.

Afterwards, a delicious meal consisting of shrimp linguine, mushroom/truffle risotto, Greek salad and several Cretan appetizers will be served on board. Then, you'll visit a second bay on the island, where you'll have more time to experience the crystal-clear waters or simply relax on the yacht in the sunshine. At the end of your boat cruise to Chrissi Island, you'll sail back to the original starting point at Ierapetra Port.
