Service Description

Psari Forada, also known as Sidonia, is a small seaside village in southern Crete, which remains far from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism. Here, the sea is calm, the coastline is spread out and calm, and the landscape exudes an authenticity that is difficult to find elsewhere. The area combines rocky hills and crops, with the simplicity of life by the water dominating everywhere. As we approach by boat, the beach unfolds before us with its clear, deep waters and characteristic gray-red pebbles. It is an ideal destination for those seeking moments of relaxation and tranquility, away from the crowds, but in the warmth of a traditional Cretan landscape. Swimming here is enjoyable, with the feeling that time flows more slowly. Between the sea and the village, the experience balances between natural beauty and genuine hospitality. 20 minutes by boat As we arrive by boat, the view of the small bay with its clear, deep waters and the pebble beach evokes a sense of peace and freedom. The landscape here alternates abruptly: steep mountains rise around the coast, creating an almost theatrical setting, but at the same time welcoming and warm. Arvi offers an authentic experience of southern Crete – quiet, genuine, with nature dominating and time flowing slowly, as in the past. The island is protected by the Natura 2000 network and hosts the largest natural cedar forest of its kind in Europe. Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy swimming in calm, shallow waters, relax on the soft sand and enjoy the rare tranquility that the landscape offers. Chrissi is a destination that perfectly combines the sense of escape with respect for nature and the need to protect the environment. Travel time 35 minutes.
