My girlfriend and I were looking for an Airbnb on Crete we could stay at for a month last minute. We didn’t know much about Sitia but loved the apartment and took a chance. We couldn’t have made a better choice, Verzin and her husband were the best hosts we’ve ever had. They stayed up until 3AM to welcome us with gifts and a home cooked meal after our long trip and treated us to dinner at one of their favorite local restaurants to show us the town center and give us tips for our stay, then again just before we left. They’ve truly become like family to us and we plan to visit again. Their apartment is clean, exactly as advertised, in a prime location and has the most beautiful view. We had a car but to stay at Mom’s home in Sitia you don’t really need one. From the apartment the beach, restaurants, shops, grocery stores and more is all a very short walk away, we rarely used the car except for the attractions outside the city. Sitia is a wonderful town with lots of things for tourists but without many tourists like the other big cities. Truly a hidden gem, you won’t regret your stay here or at Mom’s house with Verzin!
