Kitroplatia: A Beach Echoing Bygone Eras

In the past, the area was primarily populated by farmers and fishermen, reflecting its rich agricultural and fishing heritage.

On the central beach of Agios Nikolaos, Kitroplatia, one can envision the events that took place years ago. The name ‘Kitroplatia’ derives from the citrus trade, which once played a significant role in the city's commercial activity. Even today, remnants of the loading plates once used for loading citrons onto boats can still be seen in the sea, serving as a reminder of the area's past.

Situated adjacent to the bustling port and city centre of Agios Nikolaos, Kitroplatia Beach offers stunning views of the Sitia mountains. This beach is complete with amenities and is adorned with a plethora of restaurants and cafés, providing a perfect place to relax and enjoy the coastal ambiance.
