Dive into Two Beautiful Fishing Villages of Lassithi!
Grab your swimsuit, hat, and sunscreen—you're about to plunge into the charm of two stunning fishing villages in the Municipality of Agios Nikolaos.
Sissi and Milatos manage to keep their traditional feel, making you feel like time has stood still. Famous for both their beaches and their tavernas, these spots are perfect for a refreshing escape!
Explore these two charming villages and enjoy a day of pure Cretan hospitality by the sea!
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.
