Information about Ierapetra

Having the distinction of being the southernmost town facing the African coast, Ierapetra enjoys the smoothest, almost rainless weather in Europe, with a temperature that rarely drops below 12oC all year long!

Take a leisurely walk in the vivid center of the town along the coast, or into the quiet picturesque narrow streets of Kato Mera, the old town of Ierapetra. 
Pick a handmade gift from any colorful market stall and enjoy the exciting sounds of the busy Cretan life...

No doubt, Ierapetra ‘the bride of the Libyan sea” is the sunniest holiday resort in Europe...

The character and charm of the old warm neighborhood has been retained, whilst it has been given new life as a shopping and eating experience for the visitor. 
A tempting variety of shops, open-air cafes, bars, restaurants and traditional taverns, makes Ierapetra the ideal place to relax, enjoying shopping, eating, drinking or simply wondering around

‘Chrissi’ island (or ‘Gaidouronissi’) 
A small picturesque uninhabited island of cedar forest with an old chapel of St. Nicholas, tempting golden beaches and the Municipal cantina awaits your long lazy hours of swimming and sunbathing, just 8 miles off the port of Ierapetra (with frequent everyday boat shedules).
