Ierapetra is one of the four prefectures of Crete and is situated on one of the southest spots of the island. The town of Ierapetra is perfect as it has everything someone will need. There are archaeological sites, numerous beaches nearby and great sports fascilities.
If you just want to stay and see the town, you have some really nice options. The port offers a magnificent view of the Libyan Sea and the view of the sunset from that particular spot is amazing too, as the sea is colored by the setting sun. There also are some fine cafes in the town that can serve you a cup of coff, providing the view of the Medieval Wall or the Medieval Port and the ruins of Ierapetra. These two sites are perfect to walk through and see the medieva-times architects.
