Gem
About
GEM serves Crete from its premises at Vitsentzou Kornarou 19, Ierapetra 722 00, Greece, placing the jewellery shop on the island's southern coast. Visitors rate GEM 4.5 out of 5, a score drawn from 8 reviews that reflects a loyal following for its jewellery offerings. The shop sits in Ierapetra, a town on the south coast that is easily reached by road from Agios Nikolaos and Sitia, making it a straightforward stop for those travelling along the island's southern route. Heraklion, Chania and Rethymno lie further afield on the north coast, while Matala and Elafonisi sit to the west. GEM's website, https://www.4kgem.gr/, provides an online point of reference for the shop. Greek is the main language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus, so a few words go a long way when asking for directions. The island's rocky and hilly terrain supports olives, grapes and capers on terraced slopes, and dishes such as horiatiki salad, grilled octopus and thyme honey from island hills are common on menus. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, giving visitors a reason to time a trip around local celebrations. With a 4.5 rating from 8 reviews, GEM has built a steady reputation among those who seek out jewellery on Crete.
