Crete Sights in Heraklion and Sitia. Beaches and natural sites

Crete Makrigialos Village The very name itself, Makrys Gialos (or Makrigialos, Makrygialos) -which in greek means ‘long beach’- hightens the visitors expectations, which are more than fulfilled by the large expanse of coastline, the beautiful, clean beaches and the crystal clear blue sea.

There are magnificent mountain ranges, water-sports, tranquil locations and crystal clean seas. Bathed in clear sunlight most of the year, the climate is one of the best in Europe. It is understandably a most popular travel and vacation destination.

The Archaeological site of Knossos The name Knossos survives from ancient Greek references to the major city of Crete. The identification of Knossos with the Bronze Age site is supported by tradition and by the Roman coins that were scattered over the fields surrounding the pre-excavation site, then a large mound named Kephala Hill, elevation 85 m (279 ft) from current sea level.

Sitia Crete Airport Sitia Airport (IATA: JSH, ICAO: LGST) is a small community airport in the region Bonta of Sitia Municipality, on the eastern part of Crete in Greece. The facility is serving the city of Sitia. The airport is located 1 km north/northwest of the city center.
