What you will discover
Pseira Island is a small and uninhabited islet just a stone's throw away from the Minoan center of Mochlos. The first excavations at the small Minoan town on the islet of Pseira took place during the first decade of the 20th century. The town was a small settlement during the Late Neolithic period and continued to grow throughout the Minoan period, reaching its highpoint during the Late Minoan period.
Exploring Voulisma bay & Swimming at Voulisma beach. A Cretan beach with thin white sand of exotic color. The white sand gives the water a turquoise color found only on tropical beaches. The main beach is called Voulisma and it is a ‘Blue Flag”-awarded beach and the sea is usually calm and serene.
Islet of Mochlos & Village. Mochlos is a small picturesque fishing village located in the Gulf of Mirabello in eastern Crete, and the archaeological site of an ancient Minoan settlement. There is evidence supporting that Mochlos was not an islet in Minoan times, but was attached to the mainland and served as an eastern harbor. The name Mochlos also applies to the small picturesque fishing village and resort located on the mainland, opposite the islet of Mochlos. Only 150 meters separates them. It is ideal for a quiet getaway, no noise, no pollution, and you can enjoy your meal at perhaps some of the best taverns in Crete overlooking the Minoan site.
Sailing along Eastern Crete Riviera. This extraordinary trip is full of surprises. While sailing by picturesque beaches, secluded rocky coves, and hidden caves you may come across beautiful dolphins, rare turtles, and various types of birds.
