Sitia. It is a two hour car journey from Heraklion to the softly curving great bay of Sitia, and the harbour town of the same name which is noted for its fine wines and particularly peace loving, hospitable and cheerful inhabitants. The white buildings of Sitia sit in tiers like an amphitheatre, with little streets and steps taking one all the way up to the Venetian Castle. The beautiful sweeping beach at Sitia has been awarded the Blue European Flag. The most easterly of the larger harbours of Crete, this is the last stop for the ferries before they head for the islands of Karpathos and Rhodes. The town is built on the slopes of two hills, which rise up from the sea around one end of the bay. It was known as La Sitia by the Venetians, who built a fortified wall and castle, and the walk towards the harbour has all of the charm one hopes to find in a Greek water front. The steep climb upwards from the harbour front leads to the fort with views down over the esplanade and ferry boat quay.
