After a walk around his dead we climb to the heights which dominate the bay. An Orthodox cemetery shines in the sun which floods the tombs tight against each other. But, the reputation of Sitia owes a lot to its archaeological museum which counts the collection coming from the Palace of Kato Zakros, considered as the largest and the richest because it includes a great number of important objects, some of which are real heads of work of Minoan art. This is the case of the Kouros, a 54 cm high statue dated 1450 BC, made of gold and ivory that appeared during the excavations of the Minoan city of Palaikastro. • • Sitia is very much a living town, which happens to have tourism, rather than the other way around. Sitia has the most cheerful and friendly Cretans you could hope to meet, people who love their town and keep it clean and tidy. • La Sitia - Of man and nature, the two live in a sublime land, cut off from the crazy ways of busy enterprise - T.P. • The word friendly , applies to the people of Crete and it fits perfectly when considering the nature of the people you meet in the Sitia region. • We would elect the area ideal for exploration . • One of the least touristy parts of Crete, Sitia as a town, was built up in Venetian times, destroyed and later rebuilt by the Turks, with just a few signs of this history remaining. The region however, still provides numerous clues and monuments to the area's early history. • Today, its long sandy beach (equipped by this caring town with showers) offers the pleasures of sand, sea, swimming and all the windsurfing opportunities in the world. • Sitia is very much a living town, which happens to have tourism, rather than the other way around. Sitia has the most cheerful and friendly Cretans you could hope to meet, people who love their town and keep it clean and tidy, not so much to attract tourists but more because they themselves take pleasure in it and are proud of it. • The uncrowded region of Sitia is home to monasteries (notably Toplou), archaeological sites, palm-forested beaches, sparkling bays and fascinating treks across the mountains. • To name a few, the surrounding villages of Zou, Ziros, Handras - alive with the activities of today - abandoned Ethia and the surroundings of Karydi, hold much of interest in their ancient buildings and archaeological finds. • Getting to this more isolated region (named Lassithi from La Sitia ) takes you on a journey through magnificent countryside, generously supplied with dramatic gorges, intriguing villages hanging onto inland peninsulas or steep hillsides, along a California-highway-one-like road. Birthplace of Vitsentzos Kornaros, author of the Erotokritos , • Sitia has an atmosphere that suggests if there were an artist's colony, this should be it. • With a new runway completed, direct, international flights and an increase in frequency of service to Athens may one day become a reality. We hope that the easier access to Sitia and Lassithi will be met with appealing and thoughtful development; there will most certainly be new tourist facilities. One day... • What to see do • Sitia is an absorbing place to wander around, doing no more than enjoying atmosphere. • The small narrow streets behind the seafront feature the everyday scenes of a Cretan provincial small town: villagers in to stock up on news and necessities and stores which cater to their every conceivable need. • And don't forget, one thing not to be missed, especially on Sundays, is the volta, when the whole town puts on its finery to parade in front of the neighbours, cafes, tavernas. If you want to see this show get a seat around six in the evening at a table adjacent to the road behind the waterfront. • Aside from wandering the streets, sitting in Cafes or lying on the beach you could visit the Folk Museum near at Kapetanios Sifi near the OTE or have a look at the restored Venetian Fort which now used as an open-air theatre. • Climbing down from here you can see the ruined remains of some Roman fish tanks, just along the harbour. If you would like to gain a better picture of the past, then you have to visit the Archaeological Museum, on the Ierapetra road, which contains a very interesting collection of finds from the area around and the palace at Zakros.
