Cities on the island of Crete

Sitia

Sitia

Sitia is the city that has the most "naj" in its sleeve ;-) It is the smallest city of Crete, the easternmost, with the quietest atmosphere and although it is the least developed compared to other Cretan cities, it's its residents are the most warm visitors. Less than 10,000 population of Sitia makes the city the smallest in Crete. Some even go a step further and say perversely that it is rather the largest village of Crete.

In 2011, it was only about 16 thousand inhabitants.

Elounda

Although Elounda seems to be a sleepy fishing town to this day, however, appearances should not fool you, because this town and its surroundings can boast of probably the largest number of hotels with the highest standards of service. Beautiful landscape and an amazing view of the Mirambello bay is the reason why Elounda was so quickly and greedily absorbed by modern mass tourism. In luxurious SPA resorts, the most famous guests from Greece and around the world spend their holidays. It was in this place that Lady Gaga rested,

gość @Kajdowy: Kwietniowy i króciutki wypad do Georgioupolis to był świetny pomysł. Miejscowość bardzo klimatyczna i urocza. Restauracje i tawerny w świetnym klimacie a regionalne jedzenie przepyszne. Długa plaża, fajna zabudowa, ciekawi ludzie i rewelacyjny barman w hotelu. (...)

gość PiotrWie : Dziś jest niesamowita widoczność - po zewnętrznej stronie wyspy widzieliśmy większość Cyklady, a teraz z brzegu kaldery w Oi widać Kretę - z dużą plamą śniegu w masywie Gór Idajskich.
Artur Kiwa: Byłem. Raz. I to wystarczy. Duży lokal, głośny, pełno ludzi, bo popularność robi swoje. Personel zabiegany i, szczerze mówiąc, chyba zestresowany, bo nie ma mowy o sympatycznej pogawędce. Mało w tym typowo greckiej gościnności i sympatycznej atmosfery. Miejsce z typowymi chorobami dużego lokalu z dużą ilością klientów. Jedzenie - górna strefa stanów średnich, nic mnie nie powaliło na kolana. (...)
Wojtek Arciszewski: Za duża …
Joanna Gadomska: Nie,ale jest szansa ,że niedługo bede⛱️
gość PiotrWie: Patrząc na film wygląda że na wysokości Lakkos Mygreu jest śnieg, więc przynajmniej do końca kwietnia powyżej 1800 warunki będą zimowe.
Wacław Karpiński: Startujemy z Krakowa..
gość Fidelisu: Witam. Czy obecna pogoda na najwyższym szczycie Krety umożliwia względnie bezpieczne i suche przejście szlaku na początku kwietnia? Dzięki z góry za odp. 
Mariola Dudzinska: Za tydzień do Polski
Marek A. Jarzębski: Szczęściarze
Anita Wasilke: 
Iwona Struzynska: 
Marzena Bubiak: Oki Oki będę za tydzień
Grzegorz Jagus: To bardzo dobry kierunek
gość PiotrWie: My jesteśmy aktualnie na Cyklach, tu jest cena 2,2; 2,15  - więc ceny jakie podajesz na Krecie są i tak zachęcające. Tyle że tu trudno dużo zużyć - odległości są małe, nie jak na Krecie.
Wojciech Halota: Hmm w sierpniu płaciłem 2,18 euro za benzynę 95 to i tak jest taniej
Agnes Mokros: Moja ulubiona
Tomek Kawowski: Vai jest lepsze troche ;)
Marcin Nadstawski: Szkoda, że Knossos to szkaradek w stylu hollywoodzkiego kiczu.
gość PiotrWie: My dotarliśmy już wczoraj na Sifnos - ale do Aten Wizzair, a dalej promem. Na razie słońce na zmianę z chmurami, ale jest kilkanaście stopni i chodzić się da spokojnie. Pełne słońce w prognozach od niedzieli. Mamy nadzieję że 5 kwietnia kontrolerzy nie będą strajkować bo mamy wracać Olympic z Santorini do Aten.
