Cressa Ghitonia Village is a unique reconstructed neighbourhood of the 1800’s found in a picturesque village of Eastern Crete, Sfaka, Lassithi. Eastern Crete is famous for its authentic and well-preserved mountain villages, its beautiful landscapes and its virgin, untouched character. Vai Palm Tree Beach forest, the famous Toplou Monastery, Sitia town and many other signature destinations of Eastern Crete are at a driving distance from Cressa Ghitonia Village. The beach is located 6 km away from the hotel. It is located in the highest part of the mountainous village of Sfaka, just 6 km from one of the beaches of the fish-village of Mochlos and other neighbouring attractions.
Mochlos is one of the only truly quiet places left on the North coast of Crete. A main feature of Mochlos is the island of the same name that is only 150m from the shore.
Sitia is the main town of East Crete. With 9000 inhabitants it is a lively little town and tourism is not a major activity, even though it has a lovely beach.
The city of Agios Nikolaos is 65 km east of Heraklion. Agios Nikolaos or "Agios"- as locals say, dominates the beautiful gulf of Mirabello, in Lasithi prefecture of Eastern Crete..
Vai is famous for its palm forest located right on the beach. It is the largest palm forest in Crete and these palms are endemic Cretan palms (Phoenix theophrastii) and were not imported inadvertently by Saracene pirates (as some would like you to believe).
