C O NNECT of the Libyan Sea, the Venetian
Standing proudly at the edge

fortress of Ierapetra—known
as Kales—has guarded
Crete’s southern coast since
the 13th century. Built by
the Venetians to protect
the harbor from pirate raids
and foreign invasions, it
symbolizes the city's long
history as a crossroads of
civilizations. Today, the fortress
remains a powerful reminder
of Ierapetra’s strategic IERAPETRA — WHERE THE SUN LINGERS LONGER,
importance and timeless
connection to the sea. AND TIME SLOWS TO THE RHYTHM OF THE LIBYAN SEA.
