Ierapetra

The Venetian Fortress, the Archaeological Museum of Ierapetra, and the old town are must-see attractions. Don't miss a boat trip to Chrissi Island for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters.

You can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and various water sports at the beaches. Explore the old town, visit historical sites, and take boat trips to nearby islands. Hiking and exploring the local culture are also popular activities.

The best time to visit Ierapetra is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) for pleasant weather. Summer (June-August) is also popular, but it can be very hot. The shoulder seasons offer a good balance of weather and fewer crowds.
