There is a stunning sandy beach and is ideal for a summer vacation as well as for holidays throughout the whole year because of the mild climate and the life there.

Sitia is a pioneer of these sectors in Europe. One of the best district archaeological museums is situated in Sitia with many folklore exhibits, a show-room and selling-point of exceptional local products, and the Venetian castle of Kazarma. Furthermore there are many cultural authorities with wonderful activities. Kazarma today is a fabulous place for cultural events (theatre, concerts etc.) and is the centre of the town's cultural life in the summer when the "Kornaria" festival is organized, a series of theatrical, musical, other arts and literary events. Every year in August is also organized the "sultana feast", one of the biggest celebrations on Crete while many traditional feasts and parties take place in the scenic villages of the district throughout the whole summer.
