The former fishermen's village of Sissi has remained untouched all these years for a long time. Around the small village center and the picturesque little port you will find shops, taverns, kafenions (the traditional Greek coffeehouse) and only some small hotels.
At a distance of about 7 km, the archaeological site of Malia, with its remainders of the Palace of Malia, is a well-known and popular excursion destination.
Located at about 10 km, the city of Malia offers a small old town center, shops, restaurants and an animated night life.
At a distance of about 35 minutes from the airport (45 km), and at 900m from the village of Sissi, directly at the sea, the Kalimera Kriti Hotel and Village Resort has been constructed. The hotel offers 415 rooms, including 141 suites and 40 waterfront bungalows.
