Here, everything moves to the rhythm of the heart — the waves, the sun, the people. And somewhere among them, you find your own little personal paradise. A place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and discover Crete as it truly is — authentic, warm, and human.
Ierapetra: A city with history.
Since ancient times, Ierapetra has been a crossroads of civilizations. The Minoans, Romans, and Venetians all left their mark.
The Kales Fortress still stands proudly by the sea, guarding a city that knows how to live. Take a stroll through the alleys of the old town and sit down for a raki by the waves.
Here, we don’t just offer you a room. We offer you an experience — a pause from the noise, a breath, an opportunity to remember what it means to truly live.
At Laparae, every space is crafted with care and love, so you can feel comfortable, warm, and at home. Like your own home — but with the sea just outside your window.
You wake up to the sound of the waves, walk a few steps, and you’re on the beach. Here, simplicity is luxury. And hospitality, a way of life.
