Interesting places to be seen are the ruins of the Venetian fortress (Kazarma),

the Orthodox Churches (always well kept), the walk on the harbour with it’s restaurants and bars (some traditional and some tourist) and the restoration of some old buildings on the stone alleys which take

to the old town.

Sitia , is located on the north-east coast of Crete, on the edge of a cape overlooking a nice bay framed by the uninhabited Dionisiadis Islands.

It’s a small town

of about 10.000 inhabitants, with a prevailing modern architecture where most of the signs of the

ancient town plans have been erased to support the development of buildings, which unfortunately do not differ from most of the places around the Mediterranean Sea.

Sitia

is at about one hour

drive from Xerocampos (48 kilometres of asphalted road in direction Ziros) and

here you will find the hospital, the chemists,

the port and the

airport (with flights to and from Athens),

banks, supermarkets,

craftsman shops,

shops and all kind stores

 which make of Sitia a small but well equipped town and a reference point for all the region.
