Located 15 km west of Ierapetra the village of Myrtos has a pebbled beach, Myrtos beach, which is one of the best beaches of Ierapetra with grey sand and crystal clear waters. An important advantage is that the area is not affected by the winds. That makes it an ideal anchoring spot. The main beach is in front of the restaurants and cafes in Myrtos, and extends to the west. To the east is the beach with big pebbles and a few trees, ideal for anchoring, too.
