PALEKASTRO, PALAIKASTRO, KOUREMENOS AND VAI HOLIDAYS
Palekastro is a large village just 18km east of Sitia, and is a good centre for enjoying this corner of Crete, with the popular beaches of Vai, Itanos, Kourmenos, and Chiona close by. The village itself has a good selection of Cafes Tavernas and Resturants as well as shops and banks etc., and is part of the Municipality of Itanos, with strong links to the Monastery of Toplou. In past years there has been a gradual growth of tourism, with rooms to rent and several small hotels making it an ideal area for relaxing holidays. The beach at Vai with it’s natural Palm forest is a must for many tourists and holidaymakers, and is the second most visited site in Crete after the Palace of Knossos. The beach at Kourmenos is a major attraction for windsurfers, and campers and the beach at Chiona provides for the more relaxed holidaymaker. There are also a number of archeological sites of interest in the area, the Doric site at Itanos being particularly fine. This part of the island is however experiencing change with several new holiday developments nearby, indeed it is this future development which is encouraging the completion of the International Airport at Sitia. For holidays in the North East corner of Crete Palekastro is an ideal base. To book holidays, tickets, or car hire contact Macreteland Tours
