Tholos Beach

4.5(325 reviews)

About

Tholos Beach, a local business on Crete, sits at Ierapetra 722 00, Greece, placing it on the island's south-eastern coast. The venue is a beach, and its position near Ierapetra puts it within reach of travellers based in Agios Nikolaos, Sitia and the other towns along this stretch of Crete. Heraklion, Chania and Rethymno lie further afield, so the journey from those northern resorts takes longer, while Matala and Elafonisi sit on the opposite side of the island.

As a beach, Tholos Beach draws visitors for the sea and the shoreline, and its 4.5 out of 5 average across 325 reviews reflects how consistently it has been received. That score comes from a substantial number of ratings, and the review total places it among the more frequently reviewed spots in the area. Ierapetra itself is the closest of the nearby places, and the beach's south-eastern setting keeps it away from the busier northern coast.

Four photographs accompany this listing, giving a visual record of the beach and its surroundings. The address at Ierapetra 722 00 anchors the venue in the island's south-eastern corner.

Summers on Crete arrive hot and dry, winters stay mild, and the island's busiest months for visitors fall between June and September. Cooking on the island leans on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and local cheeses, and grilled meats, all widely available in the towns near the beach. Ferries link the Greek islands, and flights from Athens and major hubs reach Crete as well, making arrival by sea or air equally practical. Greek is the main language spoken across Crete, so a few local words help with routine exchanges.
