Ierapetra is at its busiest during the summer period that runs from spring until autumn. Temperatures tend to reach the high 20s consistently throughout the summer months and remain mild until around October when they start to drop off to the mid- low-teens. Although there are still sights to do and see during the cooler months of the year, we definitely recommend a trip during the summer when the atmosphere of the place is at its best.

The region has a deep history and a glimpse of this can be seen at the Ottoman Mosque at Kato Mera and the Venetian Kales Fortress which was built in the 13th century and provides stunning views of the harbour and the sea from the top. Ierapetra is also close to a nice selection of beaches. Megali Paralia, Peristera and Agia Fotia are just a few that should be on your to-visit list!
