HRISSI GAIDOURONISSI

HRISSI GAIDOURONISSI
An islet lying exactly opposite Ierapetra 9 n. mi. away, reachable by small excursion boats. It too possesses lovely beaches and cedar trees. Hrissi Island (Gaidouronissi) is a destination proposed in all tourist guides and not in vain. Little boats depart daily from Ierapetra to carry visitors some seven miles south, to a small island covered with cedar-trees and surrounded by perfect beaches where the sand is pink, composed of sea-shell fragments. This is considered a protected area, so forget about free camping, fishing or lighting a fire and bring all your trash back to Crete. The Greek name Gaidouronissi means donkey island, no one knows exactly why…
