We had a wonderful time in Sitia. Irini is a wonderful and very kind host, she always responded to any our questions, gave suggestions which places to visit, where to have dinner, which restaurants to choose and meals to try. We felt as at home. The studio has very nice terrace with the great view to the sea where we could relax at any time of the day. The studio is in the outskirts of the city therefore it was very calm and peaceful. To the city center it takes around 10-15 min on foot. The swimming is possible although we preferred to go to the beaches by car. There are a lot of nice places in close distance around Sitia where we could go for swimming, archeological sights etc. In fact, the rent of car is highly advisable. I recommend this place for those who like active rest and prefers less touristic sights. We were lucky to find the places for swimming where very limited amount of tourists were.
