Direct Beachfront Location in Southern Crete –
Ierapetra
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.
With the local economy rooted in agriculture,
Ierapetra maintains its authentic Cretan way of life, and the local cuisine is a highlight. These are just a few reasons why
Ierapetra is a popular vacation destination even among the locals. The region beautifully blends both sea and mountain landscapes. In no time, you can leave the sunny beach and find yourself on a 2,100-meter-high mountain peak, strolling through the Selakano Forest, or hiking in one of the many local gorges!
