Sitia
|
Sitia is the easternmost end of Crete. The home of Vitsentzos Cornaros is a dreamy place, ideal for holidays. Locals, cheerful, fun-loving, friendly have grasped the meaning of life. You will not hear about vendettas and arms. Enjoy Sitia! |
| Sitia is a port town and a municipality in Lasithi, Crete, Greece. The town lies east of Agios Nikolaos and northeast of Ierapetra. Sitia port is on the Sea of Crete, part of the Aegean Sea and is one of the economic centers of the Lasithi region. European route E75, which ends in Vard, starts in Sitia. Sitia is served by the Sitia Public Airport. Sitia has not experienced the effects of mass tourism even though there is a long beach along the road leading to Vai and several places of historical interest. |

The earliest settlement of the town dates back to before Minoan times; excavations in the neighbouring site of Petras have unearthed architectural remains that date back to the end of the Neolithic period 3000 BC and continue throughout the Bronze Age 3000-1050 BC. In addition, there are several Minoan settlements unearthed in the various archaeological sites in the municipality, such as in Itanos and in Mochlos. According to Diogenes Laertius, Sitia was the home of Myson of Chen, one of the Seven Sages of Greece. |
