Sitia

A port city as a starting point for the east: look from the waterfront at the fortress and from museum objects back to the landscape.

Σητεία

History in the landscape

Kazarma connects the city with Venetian history. The archaeological museum brings together finds such as Zakros, Mochlos and Palekastro. This allows you to read Sitia as an access to a larger region, rather than as a collection of separate sights.

That's how you look.

Start with the difference in altitude between the port and Kazarma. Then, find one object in the museum you will recognize. Please note what the museum mentions about use and dating; do not fill in missing information yourself.

Nature and location

The city is located on a bay on the north coast. Use the atlas to compare its position to the eastern coast and inland. The map tip marks the place, not the entrance of a monument.

At the table and in conversation

Choose a conversation about bread, olive oil or a simple dish. Ask where a product comes from. The dish list helps to read the card; availability varies from case to case and season.

A story next to the place

Next to this port city, explain the theme of travelling and coming home from the Odyssey. This is a thematic reading connection, not a claim that an event from the epic took place here.
