We loved the view over the roof tops and the partial sea view. The staff were exceptionally friendly and indulged my attempts at Greek for which many thanks! The breakfast was pretty good. We are vegan and it can be hard to cater for us but we didn't go hungry, and we provided our own plant milk. The hotel is very central but also quiet. A wonderful place to stay.

The view was amazing and the location was peaceful. It was also very close to the beach so we could go for a swim. There were tea light candles which we lit to have a candlelit dinner on the balcony.

Sitia isn't of itself pretty, but the region that surrounds it is full of treasures from Minoan sites and geological wonders through to highly trekkable gorges and ravishing views. A car is essential and exploring is well worthwhile for the smiles per mile.

Sitia is a small town, not very touristy as it's so far east. You need a car to get to Sitia and it's not an easy drive. However, it's definitely worthwhile making the effort to get there as it's a lovely town with a great beach . There are lots of excellent restaurants overlooking the sea.

If you're looking for a not too touristic, rather quiet place (of course, worth the compulsory beach bars and restaurants area), not too expensive but still nice and with friendly locals, that's your place.
Not much to see/ visit in the city itself (not to say nothing at all) and also not the side of the island with a lot of stuff but I bet if you rent a car and go to Agios Nicolaos or the villages around you'll have a great time. Some stunning views on the way too!

I cannot tell if Sitia beach is good or bad, but on the eastern side of the island 20-30 km-s away there are fantastic beaches for sure.
The view of the town from the east is wonderful.
The stairs inside the town, with cats on them are charming.
The people are kind.
I could rent a car cheap, and travel around. I have seen nice places, for example the Toplou monastery...

Cute city, lovely beaches.
Cute city, lovely beaches. Kalamia beach had great vibes, music, best Greek yogurt.
Very very very steep and narrow roads. If you're not proficient with stick shift, get automatic or don't drive. Very scary to drive.
Otherwise if you are good with walked, great Greek village. Lots of nice restaurants.
Simple.
Everything about Maria's place is wonderful. The welcome, the amenities, the spa facilities, the location and the bed. Best nights sleep we had on Crete while on our road trip. We wished we could have stayed longer. Sitia is a very pleasant town and with easy access to highlights in the east of Crete: Zakros Palace and Gorge, Vai beach and the ruins at Itanos and beach + many more. If you want to stay somewhere for a trip to the east. This is the perfect base. Thank you Maria!
Fantastic find outside of Sitia. Just a short drive through the region’s olive groves and out to a spectacular ocean view! Fell in love with the architecture and stone design on the property- felt at home with many touches like a pizza and grill oven outside, many tables for outdoor seating, and VIEWS! Walked down to beach for a quick swim in the morning. Solitude and beauty - perfect combination. Windy at first but died down late night - part of the charm.
Beautiful haven of peace at the top of a hill with a superb view on the sea and the city of Sitia. The hosts are extraordinary with a great attention that informs us on the sites to see, especially on the small beaches that look more like a paradise than the crowded beaches of Western Crete. The welcome is more than warm, it is like being in a family.
To really advise
We loved the view over the roof tops and the partial sea view. The staff were exceptionally friendly and indulged my attempts at Greek for which many thanks! The breakfast was pretty good. We are vegan and it can be hard to cater for us but we didn't go hungry, and we provided our own plant milk. The hotel is very central but also quiet. A wonderful place to stay.
We really loved the pools; they were clean and very refreshing. The proximity to the town center is amazing; literally a 6 minute walk. The food for the all inclusive was excellent; the menu was always changing and everything was fresh. Really loved how seriously they took COVID measures as well.
The view is just amazing and probably the best in Sitia. There are two spacious bedrooms with lots of closet space. Large triple patio doors open to the amazing view. Recommended for cyclists, with a secure area to park your bikes and laundry facilities with perfectly located drying rack.
Michaela and her husband were very welcoming! Lovely, large villa 5 min drive from central Sitia and a short drive to some amazing beaches/swimming spots. The villa has a huge pool and fantastic BBQ facilities. We had a great stay and highly recommend!
Great value - large room with sea view, everything worked. Nice pool. Quiet and convenient for access to Vai beach, Sitia and more. Having a car is recommended. We had one and it was perfect for us. Dog-friendly!!! This was the deciding point for us.
The room was well apportioned, with everything you’d expect from a more expensive accommodation. The location couldn’t be better…just steps from Sitia’s harbor. The friendly and kind owners went out of their way to help us when we had car trouble.
The property is brand new cosy and with modern decoration. It is located right in the heart of Sitia and everything is in walking distance.
It was super clean, and the owner was available and eager to help us with everything we needed.
Great peaceful location close to restaurants etc. with balcony and sea view from room, perfect base for exploring western Crete, excellent panoramic views of sea and mountains from the roof terrace, would recommend without hesitation
Owner was very polite and responded really quick to questions. You can enjoy the nice view from the balcony every morning during your breakfast.
The center of the town is easy accessible per foot.
The kitchen is fully equipped.
Large room, natural light, great views, modern decor.
The hotel is on the hill so there is a 5-10 min stroll (with stairs) to the centre, however the scenery and absorbing the local way of life is an experience not to miss.
Lots of pools
Lots of trees, plants, beautiful greenery around the hotel as the pictures show.
Food was delicious
Rooms were nice.
Sitia beach area is a short walk
30 minute drive to Vai beach which was beautiful
Ageras breakfast was amazing. Location was walkable to downtown Sitia and the beach. Would stay again and again here! Kitchen and fridge were great as well for cooking.
