Sitia - Crete (sights and attractions)
Sitia, a coastal town on Crete, situated in the northeastern part of the Lasithi region. It is accessible by boat and by plane and it’s an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area.
Sitia has all the necessary infrastructure to fully serve tourism, while keeping the authenticity through the selflessness of its people. I stayed 3 days and I visited Vai, Itanos, Piskokefalo, Exo Mouliana, Rixtis canyon and Moni Toplou.

Moni Kapsa in Südkreta (1974)
Wir erkunden den Süden Kretas, und schrecken auch vor schlechten Wegen nicht zurück. Ein wenig mulmig wird's dann schon, als uns an der engsten Stelle ein Lastwagen entgegenkommt.
Inmitten einer wildromantischen Landschaft liegt hoch am Berg das Kloster Moni Kapsa. Seine Lage ist auch gleichzeitig sein Reiz, denn Kunstschätze gibt es hier nicht zu sehen. Dafür viel Natur und vom Dach aus eine prächtige Aussicht auf das tiefblaue Libysche Meer. Auf dem gleichen Weg geht's dann wieder zurück.

We visited a number of monasteries (moni): agia triada / prophitis ilias / preveli / jesus christ of halepas / timios stavros / asomatos.
Most of them are kept well and you have to pay a small entrance fee.

Lassithi Crete, Greece HD
The Prefecture of Lassithi, Crete, or Agios Nikolaos as some call it after its capital, covers the eastern part of the island. It is washed by the Cretan Sea in the north, the Carpathian Sea in the east and the Libyan Sea in the south, while its west border is shared with the Heraklion Prefecture.
The prefecture is well-known for its interesting archaeological sites, as well as the one-of-a-kind in Europe Palm Tree Forest at Vai beach. Apart from its historical monuments, amazing natural beauty, imposing mountain ranges, impressive gorges, lush fields and dazzling beaches, you will find picturesque villages and friendly, warm-hearted inhabitants. As with the rest of Crete, visiting the inland is a fascinating experience. The combination of environmental beauty and the unique flair of the villages makes the visitor experience strong feelings. The villages, mostly untouched by tourism, maintain their traditional features in terms of architecture and the villagers proudly keep their traditional lifestyle. Here, the visitor may engage in a wide range of cultural activities, where tradition blends with everyday life.
Mavros Kolimbos - Crete holidays, Greece
Mavros Kolimbos -
Mavros Kolimbos is a rustic beach which is recommended if you looking for peace and tranquillity. Upon arrival here you will find the beach almost deserted, with wide open spaces right across the mix of shingle and pebbles. There is little to do on the beach other than soak up the sun, or cool off in the calm, shallow waters which are difficult to resist.
