The settlement of Agia Fotia is located 7 km east of Sitia towards Vai. The name of the village comes from the church of Aghia Fotini of the region.

The settlement is of great archaeological interest, as at the beach of the region there is a cave, where are visible signs of life since ancient times.
The discoveries do not stop here..
