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.

Our travel agent told us about SIssi, Crete when we described to her what we were looking for in a holiday. We wanted small, safe, and family oriented. Sissi is a very small town that is very tradition. It is a fishing town and it was wonderful to see fathers take their children out to catch dinner. A town's person took my husband and son out fishing with him and his sons. To my surprise they caught fish of which I was not shy to refuse cleaning them. Instead his wife cleaned and I cooked them. It was very nice. For water fun we took rest on the beach of the Aegean sea. The entire atmosphere was relaxing especially at the Sissi Bay holiday complex. Our room had the most comfortable furniture and all of the amenities that you could ask for. I felt quite silly upon driving up to the resort because I thought we would have to go with out electronics for a while but that was not the case. There was enough room on the terrace where we admired the mountains and gardens. SIssi Bay complex was amazing with its step tiered roof, clean pool, and tree leaf umbrellas. There was even a play ground in which our son could play. I have phoned our agent to plan for us again.
