Olokalon de lux relaxation suites
Welcome to OLOKALON De Lux Relaxation Suites!
Anatoli
Olokalon is located 900m from the historic village of Anatoli, situated 15 km above the city of Ierapetra (650 m. sea level), amidst a mountainous and rocky environment, which has been classified of outstanding natural beauty.
The village, a very old settlement, with references from the
Venetian times, was until recently, a Head Village for the whole
periphery, densely populated with a busy main street shopping center.
Half deserted nowadays, it is being rapidly renovated as a
resort place by rich inhabitants of Ierapetra.
The location is ideal for vacations, combining the refreshing
climate and qualities of a mountainous village with easy access to the
sea.
The short 20 minutes ride to the sea is rewarding with alternate views of gigantic rocks and sea glimpses below.
Splendid beaches and resorts, with kilometers of sand
and picturesque small gulfs, extend on the east side of Ierapetra (20
min. drive away from Anatoli), while restaurants and taverns with
savoring Cretan specialties are to be found in around neighboring
villages or on the coastal front of Ierapetra.
The town of Ierapetra (in the local dialect Gerapetro) is located on the south coast of Crete, along the beach of Ierapetra Bay.
- It lies south of Agios Nikolaos and southwest of Sitia and is an important regional centre.
- With its 11,450 inhabitants (1999) it is the most populous town in the prefecture of Lasithi, and the fourth town of Crete.
- Ierapetra is popularly known as the southernmost town of Europe, nicknamed "bride of the Libyan Sea" because of its position as only town on the south coast of Crete.
