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.

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!

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.
Nice place to stay in Sitia, the apartment was quite big with a full kitchen and beautiful views of the sea and Sitia town. The only issue with the place is that it is about a 10-15min walk out of Sitia town with part of the walk on the road (but it is flat). This is no problem if you have a car (which you can park in front of the apartment) but if you are walking it can be a bit long, especially in the dark or carrying groceries etc. The big terrace/balcony was also very nice. Otherwise a nice place to stay in Sitia.
This is a remarkable place to stay. View to sea and town from balcony is exceptional. Very close to sitia in 3 min
Finding parking in Sitia is pretty easy. Free parking for apt is on site
Owners are wonderful. Has washing machine. Very clean. Met us on timely fashion since we prearranged it on booking

Owned by a family. Sorry to have to leave
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.
I recommend Sitia Bay! A very good and friendly hotel. Extra plus for an exceptional clean hotel. The location close to the beach, roof top lounge area with a wonderful view, as well as the pool and sea view from the balconies makes the location perfect. Just 3 min walk to restaurants and stores. The best stay in Sitia for sure.
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!
Sitia is a lovely, not too busy town. The apartment was an easy walk.into town along the seafront. It was very spacious and comfortable. It had a balcony overlooking the sea the bed was incredibly comfortable. Swimming beach was very close. I would highly recommend this place.
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.
Michaela and her husband were very welcoming! Lovely, large villa 5 min drive from central Sitia and a short drive to some amazing beaches/swimming spots. The villa has a huge pool and fantastic BBQ facilities. We had a great stay and highly recommend!
Nice family run Guesthouse on the edge of town overlooking the small Port with views of the arriving and departing ferries.If using the ferry it's a perfect destination.Comfortable,clean,spacious room with nice balcony view.Reasonably priced.
The property is brand new cosy and with modern decoration. It is located right in the heart of Sitia and everything is in walking distance.
It was super clean, and the owner was available and eager to help us with everything we needed.
This is hotel with great hospitality, very nice and clean rooms perfect see view from any room, great breakfast and very nice beach across the street.
We spent beautiful vacation and thank you for that Sitia Bay.
Close to Minoan and Hellenistic remains. Sitia is an interesting working town. Good places to eat there and 1km east of the hotel. Though better to drive as road busy. Good pool and breakfast.
The location of the hotel is very good (be aware that during evening, the road in front of the hotel is closed, only pedestrians can pass) and the view from the room was great
The hotel is well organized. Perfect location, close to the beach and 3 minutes walk from the city. The hotel has several pools so there was plenty of space for everyone.
Pleasant old style Greek hotel, clean, comfortable, friendly. There is a drying rack provided on room balconies. The front desk staff were particularly helpful.
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!
