Crete has the richest and most ancient concentration of historical
sites
in Greece. You'd never know it from Sitia though.
Sitia is a modern beach town, and a pleasant one at that. Near as I can
learn,
the only real site/sight is a Venetian fortress on the hill above town.
By Cretan standards, that is practically modern.

All the doors are locked to the rest of the fort - i.e. besides the
grassy courtyard.
Let's stroll down the residential streets to the waterfront.
