Ierapetra is essentially a working harbour, with little to offer yachts except an overnight berth on passage along the south coast of Crete or a refuge in unsettled weather. Local boats and tripper boats fill all of the quay space and it will be necessary to raft up wherever possible if you visit here. Depths are 2.5 to 3.5 meters throughout the harbour. An alternative in settled weather is to lie alongside the quay to port immediately outside the entrance, where depths are 2-3 meters (the deeper water being at the inner end). Beware rock ballasting in places. This quay is, however, exposed to any winds from the north and would probably be untenable in such conditions. | Ierapetra is essentially a working harbour, with little to offer yachts except an overnight berth on passage along the south coast of Crete or a refuge in unsettled weather.
