OUR REVIEW

At last! Sitia Bay. A tasteful place to stay in Sitia. A much-needed, pleasing base from which to explore the east of Crete.
Sitia has lacked hotel we can be happy to suggest ever since we can remember. Sitia Bay hotel, completed & opened during 2005, has now filled this gap. Executed with enthusiasm for exceptional quality of build and materials - well done it is; 2 minutes walk from Sitia's harbour-front square, with wonderful sea views. Steps from Sitia's sandy beach, just across the low-traffic seafront road.

Sound insulation, both between rooms and the exterior, is exceptional. Special sealing materials are used in paints, finishes and construction to produce a result in and outside the rooms, of lasting quality.

Lush and attractive gardens, complete with soothing waterfalls, create a welcome frontage to the hotel building and also "frame" some of the views to the sea.
A sizeable swimming pool, with hydromassage, in the courtyard on the back side of the hotel, with shaded patios, sunbeds and umbrellas completes the scene of comfort.

Also, try the view from the roof, at different times of day, for a panorama of Sitia bay itself!

The 19 studios and apartments have good, modern and bright, furnishing. Each studio/apartment is comfortable, with well equipped kitchenette. A clever Italian designed cantilever table becomes a coffee table, dining table, card table - according to desire and mood! Some rooms have exciting contemporary and colourful paintings.
Sheets are laundered in the hotel's own specially equipped facility without the use of harsh chemicals.

Balconies allow a pre-sampling of the sun and temperature for the day, as you glance at the bobbling sea surface.
 

From Sitia Bay you can enjoy Sitia, one of the more peaceful small towns in Crete.
Visit: Agios Nikolaos and Ierapetra towns, numerous small villages (Mochlos, Tourloti, Kato Zakros), beaches (Vai, Kouremenos, Itanos, Xerokambos), archaeological ruins (Sitia fortress, palace of Zakros, Gournia), Toplou and Faneromeni Monasteries, the scenic delights and stunning landscapes of the eastern part of Crete.
