A sleepy village on the Sitia road.
Tourloti is a village on the road from Agios Nikolaos to Sitia.
Tourloti lies on a hill on the road from Agios Nikolaos to Sitia, with views over the sea and the island of Mochlos. It's a quiet, traditional village where time seems to have stood still. The village is the administrative centre for Mochlos, which lies 9 km below on the coast.
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
