About This Tour
Enjoy an unforgettable cruise to Chrissi Island, also known as the Golden or Donkey Island — one of the southernmost points in Europe. Just 9 miles from Ierapetra, this protected Natura 2000 area is home to a unique cedar forest, white sand dunes, golden beaches, and crystal-clear, tropical-colored waters. Spend around four hours on the island, visiting two stunning beaches. Swim, relax under the sun, or take a peaceful walk along the shell-covered shorelines. A hidden paradise offering a true escape into nature. Onboard, enjoy a traditional Greek lunch (chicken souvlaki or moussaka, Greek salad, dakos, spinach pies, tzatziki) with unlimited drinks (wine, beer, soft drinks, iced tea, water) and dessert (fruits, ice cream, raki). Vegetarian options available. Perfect for couples and families alike.
