Hotels near Sitia Public Airport - JSH, Sitia

Accessible town centre; Venetian fortress; nice vibe on the quay side. Lots of little streets with small shops and local life continuing regardless of tourists. Famed Vai beach is a 20 minute drive away, with the Toplou monastery en route.

Very nice large town. Beautiful harbour lined with tavernas. Need a car as the bus service is very limited. Nice place for a few days stay or as a base. Long beach of pebble and sand. Sun beds and umbrellas available.

Greek town currently undergoing expansion. Tradition and culture celebrated. Good public transport links to other towns, villages and beaches.Beautiful harbour and restaurants. Very friendly and welcoming people. Not yet spoilt by tourism, I hope this doesn’t change.

Sitia is one of those places that doesn’t beg for your attention — but once you’re there, you never want to leave. It’s authentic, welcoming, and blissfully free from the overwhelming crowds of more touristy spots. I visited with my partner and we stayed at the Sol suite of Avra Maris, just a short walk from both the beach and the seafront promenade. Everything was within reach — an organized beach, cozy raki spots, seaside taverns with incredible food, and warm, friendly service. The atmosphere in Sitia is simply magical. At night, walking along the beach, you hear the waves blending with the soft chatter of locals and the irresistible smell of grilled octopus in the air. You don’t need much — Sitia gives you everything you need to truly unwind and recharge. If you’re looking for a destination where you can slow down, feel like yourself again, and rediscover what makes holidays meaningful, Sitia delivers — effortlessly, without trying too hard. And once you've been there, you'll find yourself wanting to return.

Visited Sitia a few times now but this was our first stay over. Such a beautiful city. Lots of independent shops with great products. Tavernas line the edge of the harbour serving local dishes. Zorbas is our favourite. And a beach to cool off on if it gets too hot. At night the city comes alive with colour and sound.

The only problem i face every time i visit is that there's no direct flight from Cyprus to Sitia, which makes the trip quite difficult. I have to make two stops, and the bus connection is challenging, with a winding road and a tiring journey of 3 to 3 1/2 hours, witch i will really consider to go again just for that. Because i leave my house early in the morning and i arrive very late at night time to Sitia. AND THAT IS VERY TIRING!
