We loved the view over the roof tops and the partial sea view. The staff were exceptionally friendly and indulged my attempts at Greek for which many thanks! The breakfast was pretty good. We are vegan and it can be hard to cater for us but we didn't go hungry, and we provided our own plant milk. The hotel is very central but also quiet. A wonderful place to stay.

Location was excellent, breakfast was good, staff were excellent, overall the hotel was clean and comfortable and as my wife is disabled they couldn't have done more for us.

Sitia isn't of itself pretty, but the region that surrounds it is full of treasures from Minoan sites and geological wonders through to highly trekkable gorges and ravishing views. A car is essential and exploring is well worthwhile for the smiles per mile.

Sitia is a small town, not very touristy as it's so far east. You need a car to get to Sitia and it's not an easy drive. However, it's definitely worthwhile making the effort to get there as it's a lovely town with a great beach . There are lots of excellent restaurants overlooking the sea.

If you're looking for a not too touristic, rather quiet place (of course, worth the compulsory beach bars and restaurants area), not too expensive but still nice and with friendly locals, that's your place.
Not much to see/ visit in the city itself (not to say nothing at all) and also not the side of the island with a lot of stuff but I bet if you rent a car and go to Agios Nicolaos or the villages around you'll have a great time. Some stunning views on the way too!

Beautiful quiet little town. Extremely relaxing place. If you want lovely nightlife go to the other cities and towns in Crete - this is the perfect place relax / chill.

I cannot tell if Sitia beach is good or bad, but on the eastern side of the island 20-30 km-s away there are fantastic beaches for sure.
The view of the town from the east is wonderful.
The stairs inside the town, with cats on them are charming.
The people are kind.
I could rent a car cheap, and travel around. I have seen nice places, for example the Toplou monastery...

Cute city, lovely beaches.
Cute city, lovely beaches. Kalamia beach had great vibes, music, best Greek yogurt.
Very very very steep and narrow roads. If you're not proficient with stick shift, get automatic or don't drive. Very scary to drive.
Otherwise if you are good with walked, great Greek village. Lots of nice restaurants.
Simple.
Everything about Maria's place is wonderful. The welcome, the amenities, the spa facilities, the location and the bed. Best nights sleep we had on Crete while on our road trip. We wished we could have stayed longer. Sitia is a very pleasant town and with easy access to highlights in the east of Crete: Zakros Palace and Gorge, Vai beach and the ruins at Itanos and beach + many more. If you want to stay somewhere for a trip to the east. This is the perfect base. Thank you Maria!
Eric and his staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The room had everything we need and the convenience of having the beach right in front of the hotel was perfect with chairs and bar service was the icing on the cake. We are very grateful for all the tips that Eric gave us. Also having a walk distance from the restaurants and town was perfect! We highly recommend and hope to go back soon.
PS: This was booked for me Liz & my husband Jeff in my brother's account.
It was a dream vacation, really!!! Great place with charming views on Sitia and Sitia bay, and hills with clouds on them.
Very helpful and friendly stuff, fresh, diverse and very tasteful food and drinks.
Many places to go inside the hotel itself, it is more like an estate, with pools, gardens, and a private beach with a private pass underneath the highway.
We will return to the Sitia Beach City!!
The apartment was exceptional, new, modern, very clean, equipped with all the necessary appliances one might need. The bed was very comfortable, and the place is sound proof, thus perfect for light sleepers like myself. The host was fantastic as well - making sure we had a relaxing and unforgettable stay in Sitia! We plan to go back there very soon! Strongly recommended!
We really enjoyed our stay in Sitia. The apartment is clean and indeed really cozy. We felt really comfortable. The host helped us with everything and responded really fast. There were even some delicious snacks prepared when we arrived. Street parking was no problem for us (end of February) but be aware of all the small one-way streets in Sitia.
We spent most of our time on the outdoor enjoying the panoramic view! The indoor is set up for entertainment, with musical instruments and a snooker/ping pong table! We used as a base to explore the beaches on the east coast and go for dinner at Sitia at night. The host left us some treats and made us feel like family!
fantastic location, just close enough to town to make everything easy, but far enough away for it to be very calm and quiet. Really large studios. Wonderful patio. And they clean the rooms during the day! The private beach and far is wonderful. The staff are very friendly.
We had the superior double room with the extra large roof top veranda. Location was excellent on the harbor front next to restraunts and shopping.. The breakfast was good but only cold items like boiled eggs, cold ham and cheese. The hotel has a private parking lot.
The hotel is located in front of the water in the heart of the town. Free parking is provided in the back of the hotel, which is very convenient. The staff is very polite and professional. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet.
We stayed during the off-season so it was quiet, parking was available, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. We extended our stay so that we could explore the area more. We would certainly stay at this hotel again.
Our stay was easy and calm! Sitia is a small town with beautiful things to do and nice beaches and places! Polydoros and Mary are very generous and the house has an amazing view and nice decoration. Thank you for all!!
Property was very spacious and clean with lots of space for us to meet with other couples that we booked with. Room had a lot of hanging space. The hotel is a bit out of town so it was quiet throughout the day
the apartment was clean, bright, and had a lovely view. the kitchen was well stocked, and Manos was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other Sitia travelers.
New hotel 3km from Sitia quiet but isolated...therefore a vehicle is necessary. Sufficient facilities advertised in place. Powerful a/c. Good wifi. Free Parking. All in all real value for money
Exceptional views of the town and bay. Great value for money. Convenient to Sitia town and short walk to port. Host was very responsive. Beautiful terrace!
