If you are booking a villa in Crete, you will discover that there are plenty of incredible attractions to visit and things to see and do from wandering around famously pretty towns like Chania, to exploring the world-renowned ruins of Knossos, to spending perfect days on the beaches of the Gramvousa Peninsula. However, as you explore the island, you might be after some peace and quiet and some time in a destination that is a little more untouched by mass tourism… Cue a day in the charming town of Sitia!
Sitia, while it has much to recommend it – from museums, to archaeological sites, to a long and appealing beach – has yet to become the same kind of major tourist destination that many of the other towns on the island are now known as. It is, however, an ideal place to come visit during your stay in one of our holiday rentals in Crete for a lazy day by the beach, a wander around the town, and then a leisurely lunch (and maybe a glass of wine) overlooking the water.
Slow things down, settle in, appreciate the majesty of your surroundings, and really get into holiday mode by taking a seat outside one of the eateries that have tables right by the sea and enjoy a meal in this perfect setting. Leave all your daily worries behind, take in the sound of the lapping water, savour the flavours of the local cuisine, and make the most of being on vacation in Greece!
So, book your vacation rental in Crete today and come discover both her famous attractions and her sleepier, relaxing towns for a perfect holiday this summer…
