Sitia is a port town in the far east of Crete, in the prefecture of Lasithi, Greece. It lies to the east of Agios Nikolaos and to the northeast of Ierapetra. Sitia has not experienced the effects of mass tourism, however it is a lively town with an appealing laid-back atmosphere.
There is a waterfront with restaurants and cafes, a large public beach, and an archaeological museum which holds many of the findings from Palekastro. At Petra, to the east of the town, a section of ancient settlement has been excavated
