A wild shore with big rocks and a small pebble cove west of Sitia.
Papadiokampos is an isolated spot with large rocks and a rocky bottom, plus a calmer pebble cove just north of the settlement.
There are no facilities, and it's quiet most of the time. A Minoan settlement was excavated nearby. It's a good stop for a swim on the road between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia.
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.
Lasithi, the eastern end of Crete, is quieter and greener than you might expect. Agios Nikolaos wraps around a small lake and a lively harbour, with cafés on the water and beaches within walking distance. Just north, Elounda and Plaka look across to the fortress island of Spinalonga, one of the most moving places on the island. Περισσότερα για Λασίθι
