About this space
Imagine waking up in the morning and the first thing you see is the sparkling sea – from every window of your holiday home.
Located in a peaceful and authentic setting, you’ll find total relaxation while being just 600 meters from the sea and only a 3-minute drive from the lively towns of Sisi and Malia.
At Chalet Sissi, you can soak up the sun on the spacious terrace, plan unforgettable trips, and in the evening, enjoy a glass of wine while watching the spectacular sunset over the sea.
The space
Chalet Sissi is my personal happy place – and since 2024, I’ve been sharing it with guests who want to experience Crete in a peaceful, authentic, and stunning setting.
Here’s a good idea of what to expect. If you have any questions, just reach out!
The house is 57 sqm, with three balconies and a spacious terrace – perfect for outdoor living.

Is Chalet Sissi right for you?

Like home – just with a sea view!

Other things to note
A few things to keep in mind:
Pure nature: The house is surrounded by Mediterranean landscapes. That means you might encounter insects like ants, spiders, or even the occasional local cockroach – especially if windows are left open.
Not wheelchair accessible: There are steps and elevation changes – the stunning view comes with a hillside location.
Typical Greece: You might see some unfinished buildings in the area, but they won’t affect your stay.
Authentic neighborhood: The surrounding area is home to real Cretans. That means you might see a farmer passing by on his tractor, hear a shepherd’s sheep, or occasionally notice a dog barking at night.
But there is also something very decelerating about all of this. If you’re excited to experience the real Crete in a relaxed atmosphere, Chalet Sissi is the perfect place for you!
