Ancient Site Mpoufos
Στο Κεφάλι (ύψωμα) Αγ. Αντωνίου ή Κρέμασμα στην παραθαλάσσια περιοχή ανατολικά του Οικισμού Σίσι εκτείνεται ο Αρχαιολογικός χώρος «Μπούφος» με σημαντικά ευρήματα και ανακαλύψεις διαφόρων χρονικών περιόδων. Το 1976 έγινε η κήρυξη του αρχαιολογικού χώρου και ορίστηκε αρχαιολογική ζώνη με απαλλοτρίωση 40 στρεμμάτων από το ελληνικό δημόσιο.
Η πρώτη μικρή ανασκαφή έγινε από τον αρχαιολόγο Κώστα Δαβάρα ενώ έπειτα από μισό περίπου αιώνα, το 2006 ξεκίνησαν συστηματικές ανασκαφές από την Αρχαιολογική Σχολή του Βελγίου με επικεφαλής τον καθηγητή Jan Driessen. Η σύζυγος του επικεφαλής των ανασκαφών είναι η εγγονή του Πολ Φορ, ο οποίος είναι γνωστός και αγαπητός στην Κρήτη, ένεκα του πολύ σπουδαίου έργου που έχει καταγράψει για τον τόπο μας, σε συνεργασία με τον Πλατάκη, σημαντικοί και οι δύο σπηλαιολόγοι και ερευνητές.
Ο Αρχαιολογικός Χώρος «Μπούφος», στο Σίσι θεωρείται μια από τις πιο σημαντικές ανακαλύψεις τα τελευταία χρόνια στην Κρήτη. Η περίοδος ακμής της πόλης ήταν την υστερομινωϊκή εποχή (1350- 1250 π.χ.). Δίπλα ακριβώς στη θάλασσα υπάρχει ο νεκροταφιακός χώρος (τέλος της πρωτομινωικής και αρχές της μεσοομινωϊκής περιόδου, δηλαδή περίπου 2100-1800 π.Χ.). Στους τάφους αυτούς έχουν ήδη βρεθεί πολλά αγγεία, οστά και κρανία ενώ όπως ανέφερε ο επικεφαλής, κ. Jan Driessen ξεχωρίζουν τα αγγεία δίπλα στους νεκρούς καθώς και τα «Κυκλώπεια Τείχη» που διακρίνονται καθαρά στα χαμηλότερα επίπεδα του λόφου.

Between Avlaki Sissi beach and Harbor Sissi Beach and close enough to Sissi village is found the small sandy beach of Boufos. The beach is very much affected by the winds, which, when blowing, create characteristic huge waves. Swimmers should be cautious in such cases.
If you choose this place for swimming, you have also the chance of sightseeing; you may drive to the scenic traditional village of Epano Sissi, 1,5 kilometer far from the beach at the East, the Monastery of Aghios Georghios of Selinari (5 kilometers southern to Sissi), as well as the mountainous small village of Vrachassi, at a distance of 7 kilometers far from Sissi at the South.
It is located 40 kilometres east of Heraklion and 25 kilometres north-west of Agios Nikolaos.
