The port town of Sitia, located in the Eastern part of Crete, is a stunning city that offers wonderful opportunities for exploration, as well as a wide range of shops and restaurants to discover. However, what truly sets this city apart is the ability to explore it on foot, allowing you to truly feel as if you have stepped back in time. As depicted in the photos, you may stumble upon a beautiful Church or be treated to breathtaking views of cobblestone streets and the harbor. Greece is a place that is both mythical and magical, surpassing any expectations you may have. It is a definite must-visit destination. If you are fortunate enough to have family or friends residing there, you can delve even deeper into the culture and experience the richness of this incredible country.
