The poolside snack bar is the social hub of the hotel, serving refreshing cocktails, chilled draught beer, and a variety of light lunches and snacks. You’ll love dining just steps from the water’s edge at the village harbour, where the evening sea breeze complements the taste of fresh octopus and local olives.
Pools and Spa
The hotel features a large outdoor freshwater swimming pool, perfect for a cooling dip after a morning in the sun. The surrounding sun terrace is lined with loungers and parasols, providing a peaceful spot to catch up on your holiday read. Please note that use of any spa treatments or wellness facilities, if available nearby or arranged via the hotel, may be subject to additional charges.
Beach
The ruggedly beautiful Boufos Beach is located approx. 800 metres from the apartments, offering a mix of sand and pebbles with crystal-clear water. As this is a public beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are available at an extra charge. For a unique experience, take a 15-minute walk to the sheltered "Avlaki" cove, a hidden local spot perfect for a quiet swim away from the crowds.
Sport and Entertainment
The atmosphere here is wonderfully tranquil, focusing on relaxation rather than loud animation. You can enjoy a game of pool in the snack bar area or take a short walk into the village centre to experience traditional Cretan music in the local bars. The evening atmosphere in Sissi is chic and laid-back, perfect for sunset walks along the shoreline followed by a glass of raki with the locals.
Family Amenities
Families will appreciate the friendly, small-scale environment of the property. Kids can enjoy their own dedicated section of the swimming pool, allowing them to splash around safely while you keep a close eye from your sun lounger.
