We joined the tour in August. We absolutely loved the small town of Sitia. People were very friendly. We took a walk in the small harbour of the town and enjoy our coffee watching the graphical view. In Toplou monastery we tasted the local wine. We really like it. The highlight of this trip was the vai palm beach! I could not believe that this beautiful exotic place was in Europe. Cant wait for my next visit there!
