Stop 1: Sissi

Just a 10-15 minute drive from the lively resort town of Malia, in the Hersonissos municipality, Sissi is a more tranquil place where time seems to slow down. 

Stroll through the picturesque little harbor, take in the sight of colorful fishing boats, and wander through vibrant alleys full of local charm.

Nearby, you'll find Boufos Beach, offering all the amenities you need for a relaxing day by the sea. It's about a 10-minute walk from the village, so a little stroll is required.

But beware—if the north winds are blowing, the waves can get quite rough.

Feeling hungry? Amelia Taverna is ready to welcome you with hearty traditional Cretan dishes. 

Don't miss out on the snails (known as "chochlious" in Crete) or the deliciously tender lamb!

Stop 2: Milatos

In Milatos, narrow streets lead you down to a coastal road perfect for a leisurely walk. Park your car and follow the path that overlooks the quaint fishing boats bobbing in the water.

Here, you'll have plenty of options for a coffee or a sweet treat, and as night falls, you'll discover wonderful fish tavernas serving incredibly fresh seafood.
