Sitia gives the far east of Crete an easy urban pause. The waterfront explains the town's harbour setting, while the Kazarma above it shows its Venetian defensive past. See the two together: the climb in viewpoint makes the relationship between the bay, port and fortified hill much clearer.
What to look for
The harbour sits within a sheltered bay.
Kazarma fortress overlooks the town and water.
The fortress recalls Sitia's Venetian period.
Useful to know
Start by the harbour, then look up toward Kazarma to orient yourself before continuing uphill.
Check current access separately if you want to enter the fortress rather than see its exterior.
