Though basically a small village of about 700 permanent residents, located 26 kilometers northwestern of Agios Nikolaos, Sisi has evolved into a very popular tourist resort during the last few years. Its exquisite sandy beach is considered to be the main cause for that. The moment you arrive here, you will be impressed by the unique combination of the old buildings of the village with the modern tourist facilities of the hotels. Within a very short distance you will have the ability to visit some remarkable sites, such as the Monastery of Agios Georgios Selinarios, located 5 kilometers away, where the, according to tradition, miracle performing icon of the saint is hosted.
