Monument to the Cretan Resistance

Highlight • Monument

The memorial in the town center of Ierapetra, Crete, honors the courage of the locals in their resistance against the German occupation during World War II. The sculpture of an armed Cretan fighter symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, and the people's desire for freedom.

View from Ierapetra Ferry Port to Chrisi Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ierapetra (Greek: Ιεράπετρα [ieˈɾapetɾa] (f. sg.)) is a town in the southeast of the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete and the administrative center of the municipality of the same name (Greek: Δημος Dimos [ˈðimɔs]). It is the southernmost town in Europe (excluding Cyprus, which geographically belongs to Asia). Ierapetra lies at the narrowest point of Crete: from the south to the north coast, it is only 12 kilometers as the crow flies.

Kales Fortress, Ierapetra

Highlight • Castle

A charming 17th-century Venetian castle at the end of the promenade.

Under renovation for years. You can walk around it when the waves are light.

Update May 2025: The renovation is finally complete and has been a great success. The castle is now open to visitors again, free of charge. Very worthwhile.

Long promenade. Towards the east to the outskirts of the city. Near the old harbor there are many restaurants and cafés right by the sea. Ideal for ending a stroll through the city 🤩
