Work is underway at the port of Sitia, in eastern Crete, to install new floating platforms that will significantly expand berthing capacity in the harbor. The project is already generating strong interest, with pre-bookings for mooring spots reported before construction is complete, signaling high demand for the upgraded facilities. The floating docks will modernize one of the island's quieter ports, making it more accessible for private boats and small vessels.

Visitors arriving by private boat or planning to moor at Sitia should contact the port authority for updated availability as the new infrastructure comes online.
