Sitia is a wonderful place to visit kept remote and with less impact from tourists due to the curvy and sometimes steep road into the area. If you don’t mind driving, once you are there you are a reasonable drive away from some of the most scenic thyme covered “mountains” and rustic gorges in the world. The beaches can be fun and lively or quiet and remote. Don’t miss Sitia town at night. The strand along the water offers good drink and great food. Ask a local for the best “Rakadiko” on the water! Enjoy!
