Peristeras Beach: Beneath the Hill That Shares Its Name

ABOUT

Access might be tricky, but it’s worth it!
Just 5 minutes east of Ierapetra, beneath Peristeras Hill, you’ll find a beautiful hidden beach.
It’s well concealed from the road and unknown to most people. Reaching it isn't exactly easy—you’ll need to use the stairs at the next small cove, and then walk or swim along the coast to get there.

Strong winds are common here, so swimming should be done with extra care.
Make sure to bring everything you need, as the beach is not organised!
