Hiona - Chiona Beach in Palekastro, Sitia, East Crete
Beaches in Palekastro
Hiona BeachHiona or Chiona beach is located 2 km east from Palekastro village and 20 from Sitia. The main beach is 300 m long and you can enjoy the rest under the shade of the tamarisks.

The sandy sea bottom slopes gently, making swimming safe even for the youngest holidaymakers.
On the southeastern side of the beach, there are many pristine and secluded, small sandy bays, ideal for families and with more privacy. The name of this beach area is 'Bodalaki'.

The 3 traditional fish taverns are well-known on the whole Crete. People come here from every part of the island to taste the famous "kakavia" and "buyabesa" (traditional cretan meals with fish).

In Palekastro you find very nice and clean beaches… Palekastro has two of the best beaches in Crete (I recommend Itanos or Bodalaki), with wonderful swimming possibilities. Lots to see, too: the archaeological site in Rousso Lakkos, which was just starting to be excavated when we were there 20-odd years ago, is now huge, and looks extremely interesting. And it has saved that beautiful corner of Crete from development.
