Sissi is surely a wonderful lovely village! This was our fourth time to spend our vacation in Sissi and we'll keep coming back to this place. When you walk at the village centrum and then go down to the harbor, you’ll be surprised (if you're there for the first time) to find restaurants/tavernas where you can enjoy a meal or even just a drink , relax and smell the sea! We choose to book apartments because it's really fun to eat at the local restaurants where good and authentic Greek foods are served and in that way support the local restaurant-holders. In fact, we have our favorite restaurant "The Pink Flamingo", located just when you go out of the village center going to Palm Bay and to the Vasia Beach Hotels. At the very opposite of Ariadne Supermarket is the "Pink Flamingo “restaurant. I tell you, you'll keep coming back to this restaurant once you meet the lovely owners George and Maria and their two lovely girls and once you have tasted their hospitality and most of all the food! The grilled Dorado is superb. More power to George's chef Petros! It's worth trying to get in touch with the locals when you choose such a place as Sissi as your vacation destination. Sissi has one sandy beach and some rocky beaches but you could rent a car from any of those several Rent-A-Car- companies spread all over the village and go find a sandy beach somewhere else. We have booked another vacation in October in Agios Nikolaos but we’ll surely come back to visit Sissi.

Crete, Greece Holiday Review - The Sun Dances

I have just returned from Crete and had to write straight away in order to capture my emotions while they are still fresh. First and foremost I must admit that I was rather smitten by Crete before we even traveled because it a rather large island of grace and beauty. Every hotel or residence we passed was marvelous. Our hotel had a fa?ade that would leave the strongest man weak in the knees. The food at the hotel and around town had wonderful flavor, even to my fianc? who is a picky eater. We ensured that we visited many small establishments so that we could eat traditional Greek dishes accompanied by Greek wine. As expected from an island, the night time outings were very impressive. We danced to Greek, American, and English latest music and as well as learned traditional Greek dances. You should have seen the young girls dance their hearts away. A four year old happened to dance circles around us all. The beaches and the sky were perfect stages for the sun. The sun danced all day and night and brought vibrant colors with it. I wish that I could have spent more time in Crete to fully experience what it had to offer. Crete seems as if it is suitable for anyone because of the variety.
