Casa Riza - Authentic Cretan Hospitality, Ierápetra

Casa Riza - Authentic Cretan Hospitality is based in Koutsounari, in the Ierapetra area of Crete, Greece, making it a calm base for beach days and slow evenings. The property sits around the Koutsounari neighbourhood, and its setting suits travellers who like to be close to the sea without staying in the busiest streets. Guests consistently highlight the personal, welcoming feel; with a 10/10 guest rating from three reviews, the common thread is that it feels cared for rather than purely transactional. The stay is designed for comfort, with air conditioning for warm afternoons and soundproof rooms that help you sleep well after a day out. A swimming pool and terrace add an easy rhythm to the day, whether you’re returning for a quiet dip or lingering with a drink outside. For getting around, you can ask the tour desk for local guidance and use car hire if you want to explore at your own pace. If you’re travelling with a vehicle, offsite parking is available with discounted rates. In terms of what’s nearby, Koutsounari Beach is about 1 km away, so you can reach the shoreline quickly. Ierapetra Port is roughly 3 km from the property, handy for harbour walks and local sights, while the Fortress of Ierapetra is also around 3 km for a dose of history. Agia Fotia Beach is about 5 km away for another stretch of sand.
