places that have developed, and exist, for tourists. I would include Sissi and Milatos amongst them, but they are resorts all the same: i.e. There is almost nowhere on Crete's north coast now that is un-touristy - being "near a beach" guarantees tourist resorts and tourists - though of course some are less touristy than others. >We don't want to be near a touristy place.< There are dozens of other places on Crete that would suit your needs but these are the first three to spring to mind that I have first hand knowledge of. The first is on a beach and pretty quiet, a few rooms with tavernas but no shops that I can remember, if you are not willing to drive it would mean getting a taxi there and back or alternatively there is the lovely inland village of Kamilare with both the beaches of Kamilaki & Kommos nearby, I say nearby but it would mean a 25 / 30 minute walk. Two other places both totally different and both on the south coast, that may suit you are Triopetra or Kamilare.
If you want somewhere with a shorter journey from either of the main airports then you may wish to look at the south coast and the more rural or quieter you go for is going to restrict you travel options to and from. It is a beautiful working town with several beaches and coves within walking distance. I would suggest you look at somewhere like Palekastro, it is a fair distance (only feasible if you are flying in to Heraklion) and would require a bus from Heraklion to Sitia and from there to Palekastro.
