Holidays in Sata
Tossing and turning all night? Could be that restless spirit of yours! So what's stopping you? Get up, make yourself some brekkie and book a holiday to Sata!
It's situated 330 kilometres to the south of the nation's capital, Athens.
Search for intricate seashells to collect or try to spot small animals like clams and crabs at Golden Beach and Komos Beach. You'll find these attractive strips of coastline 80 kilometres and 11 kilometres away, respectively.
Break free on an adventure to some nearby natural attractions. 50 kilometres out of Sata, Lake Kournas is all yours to explore. Sfendoni Cave, 20 kilometres away, is another superb spot to hang out in the outdoors.
Sports lovers don't need to worry about being left out in the cold during their stay. Pankritio Stadium is 40 kilometres away in Heraklion and an excellent place to get your sporting fix. Be sure to check the event calendar to find out what's on.
Are you interested in visiting Palace of Phaistos and Beach of Matala? They're not far from the centre of Faistos, 11 kilometres to the southeast. Alternatively, you could travel to Anogia. It's 18 kilometres to the northeast of Sata and regarded for Agios Dimitrios Church and Mount Ida.
Do a bit of shopping and visit some attractions in Rethymnon. This destination is 35 kilometres to the northwest and not far from Fortezza Castle, the University of Crete and Great Gate. That said, don't miss Lady of Angels Church and Ecclesiastical Museum either.
Eating is among life's greatest pleasures, and since you're here, you probably think travel is too. Combine your fondness for both by venturing out and sampling the local cuisine at various restaurants, cafés and bars across town.
Typical food here tends to include chicken and pork, two common ingredients for which the local area is known for dishing up.
There's always a local plate or two that you need to experience, and during your stay in Sata, pilafi kritis (chicken pilaf) is among them. Moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole) is another traditional recipe that's an essential experience for food fans.
You may be eating your way into a bigger set of trousers, but loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey) is worth it. This much-loved dessert will put your taste buds into overdrive at the sight of it.
For fans of a satisfying pint, hunt down a cosy bar and ask for Neda. Enjoy it with a side of joke-cracking and mingling with the regulars.
Like talking about the texture, balance and structure of a delicious drop of wine? Or would you rather cork it and just enjoy it? Savatiano Retsina and Nemea Agiorgitiko are what you need to ask for here.
It's always tricky to say "Yiá sou" to Sata, but don't worry, it will still be there next time!
If you're catching a plane home, it's wise to map out your route to the terminal beforehand. From the middle of Sata, it's about 45 kilometres northeast to Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER), the closest airport.

Palazzo Greco
Mikanos was an extremely friendly and engaging host. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is perfect i.e. about 2 minutes from the small town, not too quiet not too busy....goldilocks. One of a couple of places in the world we've been to that we'd return to

Astoria
The room was modern and spacious, balconies with a sea & mountain view. The buffet breakfast was fresh, with hot & cold choices, great coffee! Staff superb. Guests friendly with kind hearts. My wife was surprised when two Dutch couples presented her with a small gift, singing Happy Birthday on her ...

Areti Hotel
Good breakfast, wonderful view. The only let down was the water from the shower not having a more efficient drainage path. Other than that it was fantastic
