About Sitia
Crete has three ferry doors, and this is the one nobody counts. Chania opens the west, Heraklion opens the Cyclades, and Sitia — at the far eastern end of the island — is the only Cretan port from which you can sail on into the Dodecanese. That single fact is worth more to an itinerary than everything else on this page.
