Chrissi or Hrissi or Gaidouronissi Island lies 15km south of Ierapetra. In the middle of the Libyan sea. The island's nature is pure and mysterious. Bays, secret or not, pure beaches, crystal-blue water, rare cedar forests, fragile ecosystems, species of plants and animals have existed undisturbed on Chrissi island for hundreds of thousand of years. Ruins of buildings from the pre-historical and historical time demonstrate the length of human presence on Chrissi. Crete, Greece.
