Sitia Bay

This hotel was one of those unexpected surprises. It is family run and it shows. The staff is very caring, friendly and informative. They ho the extra mile to be helpful. They are perfectly situated on the beachfront with a 6 minute walk to the restaurants.

We stayed 6 nights in this very pleasant hotel conveniently located in Sitia, facing the beach. Quiet hotel with a beautiful view of the sea and a lovely pool with comfortable loungers. Spacious room, very well-equipped "kitchen" area. Impeccable cleanliness! Very friendly staff. I highly recommend it!

The hotel is situated right next to the beach - you just walk out of the door, cross a pedestrianised street, and you're on the sand. The town's cafes and restaurants are just 5-10 minutes' walk. There's also a decent swimming pool, and a parking area at the back. Rooms all have a view - some more than others - and a small balcony with a couple of chairs and large rack for drying clothes. The only deficiency is breakfast: it's not a buffet, you have a few 'set menu' options. The food is good, but a very limited choice, and all cold - certainly no English breakfast and not a typical Continental one either: no croissants, for example. But the staff were all pleasant and Eric, the caretaker manager, couldn't have been more helpful.
