Ξηρολίμνη
Mitato (the word means «cheese dairy» in the Cretan dialect) is the central village of a community of five small villages, the other four being Chonos, Xerolimni, Krioneri or Misiryou (perhaps derived from the Latin missir: gentleman or lord, or Misr: Egypt) and Vrisidio or Magassa. The road to these villages passes through Roussa Ekklisia. Prehistoric tombs were found at Langos in the Mitato district, and on the summit of the hill Modi (539m) which also belongs to the community. Mitato Mitato Mitato An open-air peak sanctuary was excavated in 1971. This had not been plundered and many votive offerings were found, including a lot of bronze votive knives. Traces of a building were also located. Nowadays, because of the high mountain climate (590m above see level), fewer and fewer people live permanently in these villages; most of the former inhabitants spend the greater part of the year in Palekastro or Sitia Mitato Mitato From the book "Sitia", N.Papadakis, Arcaeologist,1983
Μέρη κοντινά με Ξηρολίμνη
Μαγκασά (Βρυσίδι)
Όμορφο γραφικό χωριουδάκι στον ορεινό όγκο του Παλαικάστρου που οι κάτοικοι του το εγκατέλειψαν σταδιακά γύρω στο 1850 και κατέβηκαν στο Παλαίκαστρο αναζητώντας πιο εύφορα εδάφη για καλλιέργειες. Σώζονται μερικά παραδοσιακά πέτρινα σπίτια που ευτυχώς κάποιοι απόγονοι ξαναγυρνούν και τα φτιάχνουν με σεβασμό και μεράκι έτσι όπως ταιριάζει στο πετρώδες ανάγλυφο της περιοχής.

Ανάμεσα στους οικισμούς Μαγκασά και Μητάτο και σε ορισμένα τμήματα του αγροτικού δρόμου που τους συνδέει, διασώζονται τμήματα του παλιού καλντεριμιού που συνέδεε παλιότερα τους δύο οικισμούς.
Η σπηλαιοκαταβόθρα Νταντουλά βρίσκεται στο οροπέδιο της Σητείας και σε υψόμετρο 557 μέτρα.
Το συνολικό της βάθος ειναι -260 μέτρα και καταλήγει σε σιφόνι.
Την εξερεύνηση και την χαρτογράφηση της καταβόθρας πραγματοποίησε η Γαλλική σπηλαιολογική ομάδα L.U.C SPELEOLOGIE το 1999.
Οι Γάλλοι σπηλαιολόγοι της έδωσαν την ονομασία Maxime πολύ πιθανόν λόγω του μεγάλου βάθους της.
Μέχρι σήμερα παραμένει το βαθύτερο σπήλαιο στην περιοχή του Οροπεδίου της Σητείας.
Κύριο χαρακτηριστικό της καταβόθρας είναι ο αξιόλογος στολισμός της που συναντά κανείς στο εσωτερικό της!
Επίσης είναι μια πολύ καθαρή καταβόθρα, χωρίς λάσπες και με άνετη κίνηση χωρίς ιδιαίτερα στενά σημεία.
Οι ντόπιοι την γνωρίζουν με την ονομασία Νταντουλά λόγω του παρακείμενου υψώματος με την ίδια ονομασία.
