Situated in the charming harbor town of Ierapetra, this hotel offers a prime beachfront location. The hotel is about 100 km from Heraklion Airport, just a 1-hour and 15-minute drive away, at the edge of the town.
Ierapetra is the sunniest city, not only in Crete but in all of Europe, with an average of 3,101 hours of sunshine per year! Here, you will find some of the longest, cleanest, and most beautiful beaches in southern Crete, including the tropical paradise of the famous Chrissi Island. The "Meltemi" north wind, which creates large waves on the northern coast of Crete, ensures that the sea in Ierapetra remains calm, crystal-clear, and safe all year round.
