Χιόνα

Σχετικά

A small sandy beach near Palekastro, next to an ancient Minoan town and fish tavernas.

Chiona is a small beach of white sand and clear water, home to migratory birds. Right behind it lie the ruins of the Minoan town of Palekastro.

Right behind the beach are the remains of the Minoan town of Palekastro, and there are a few fish tavernas by the water. The wind can be strong, which makes the area popular for windsurfing. Kouremenos and Vai are nearby.

Sitia is the far east of Crete, a quieter, less touristy area of dry hills, olive groves and vineyards. The town of Sitia has a pretty harbour, a Venetian fortress and museums, and the area includes the palm beach of Vai, the Toplou monastery, the Minoan palace of Zakros and the Gorge of the Dead. Much of the area is part of the Sitia UNESCO Geopark. The local olive oil is among the best in Greece.
