Gra Lygia,“the Old Chaste tree” in Greek, is a seaside village 4km west of Ierapetra, with a long quiet beach mainly coarse sand and pebbles and crystal clear waters. The beach is not as busy as other beaches in the area even in the summer months, although lately facilities like showers, umbrellas and sunbeds are added. At the western end of the settlement there is a nice café & beach bar especially popular for the area’s youth, while inside the settlement there are many small coffee & raki shops where mostly locals spend their evenings. There are several shops, a gas station, a pharmacy and two supermarkets with a nice variety of cretan products. The settlement is the beating heart of east Crete’s agricultural produce, surrounded by greenhouses. Nearby villages are also worth visiting : the picturesque village of Myrtos is a 10’ drive to the west, is also great for a swim, souvenir-shopping and an alternative relaxed nightlife. A little more to the west Tertsa village (20min drive) has also beautiful beaches, nice food and if one feels like it great yoga classes.
