A wonderful host, Mario and his family were great and the place was better than I thought as well! It was a bigger space than I expected and had a lot of care and thought in the details as well. We felt very happy with our short stay in Sitia. We went to a nearvy taverna, a tip from Marios, which has great food and lovely service. Everything in Sitia, that we went to, felt very local and very small-town, which was nice. Everyone knows everyone. The port/harbor area is a bit more touristy BUT you can find local gems if you wander away from that area. Great hosts, great stay, great space, and surprised from our experience of the town! Happy to return again and also a great value.
