The island of Chryssi or Gaidouronisi is located 8 miles south of Ierapetra, off the coast of the South Cretan Sea.

It is a flat islet famous for its tropical waters that exhaust the entire color palette of blues and greens, the protected forest with large junipers and cypress trees and the millions of broken shells that give the white sand a pink hue.

The Gerapetrites love this island and call it simply “Island”.
