Ierapetra on the South East coast of Crete
Ierapetra has 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 12o C all year long ! Ierapetra is built on the
longest beach in Crete, offering an endless choice of golden beaches
with deep crystal blue sea, far away from industrial areas and ships
passing by. All major beaches of Ierapetra from Mirtos to Makrisgialos
are awarded with the European Committee's BLUE FLAG every year.
Ierapetra has an important harbour whose
history goes back 35 centuries, Ierapetra is a delightful combination
of past and present. Modern shops, banks, a colourful covered market,
a little town square with a statue (by Memos Makris) of a seated girl
reading, music at midday in the seafront cafés, traffic-free quay
sides and the clean and clear deep blue-green sea. Ierapetra is the
4th largest city in Crete, enjoying substantial income from its green
houses and banana crop.
This area is suitable for holidays all
year with its mild and dry climate. It is said that you can swim in
the sea all year around and there are lots of possibilities for tours,
mountain walks and high in the mountains you find Crete's largest
forest.
