Agios Andreas, Ierapetra: A Magical Beach

ABOUT

Agios Andreas beach lies just outside the centre of Ierapetra, beginning at the town’s eastern edge, in the area known as “Vrachia.”

It’s mostly a sandy beach, with patches of fine pebbles here and there. What really makes it stand out, though, is the rocky coastline, dotted with striking geological formations. There’s even a small, natural round pool carved into the rock—perfect for a refreshing dip.

As with all the beaches around Ierapetra, the waters here are crystal clear, and the spot is ideal for snorkelling.
