The village, known from Venetian times (16th century), is renowked for its healthy climate and superb views
...
show more to the sea.The location is ideal for all seasons vacationing, combining in summer the refreshing coolness of the mountains with easy access to the sea,while in winter being the "the warmest and sunniest part of Greece" is ideal for long term rentals. The 20 minutes ride to the capital of Ierapetra or to the beaches is rewarding, offering spectacular views of gigantic rocks and sea glimpses below. As the village is built against a steep slope, car access is restricted.
Sandy beaches extend either to the northeast (the gulf of Mirabello), or to the southeast (Libyan Sea), reachable within 20 min. At Kalo Chorio (ancient site “Istron”) is found one of the most famous beaches of Crete with azure, shallow waters, “Voulisma”, while east of Ierapetra extend kilometers of sandy beaches and small sea gulfs, marked with BLUE FLAG, among which the best are Agia Galini (next is Kakkos Bay Hotel, laid out in another beautiful gulf and open to the public),Agia Fotia, Ferma, Koutsounari etc.
