Votsalo, Ierápetra Overview
Votsalo is located in Ierápetra, Greece. Rated 9.8 out of 10 based on 22 guest reviews.
Votsalo is a comfortable seaside stay in Ierápetra, Greece, set along Livadia Ierapetra Paraliaki Odos in the Makrys gyalos area. The neighbourhood suits travellers who want the rhythm of the coast without being stuck in the busiest parts of town, and the setting makes it easy to plan beach time around your day. Guests consistently rate the property highly for its calm feel and attentive hosting, with recent reviewers highlighting how smooth the stay feels from arrival to check-out.
With air conditioning included, the rooms stay pleasant even when the Cretan sun is at its peak. Soundproof rooms help cut down on outside noise, which matters if you’re travelling with children or you simply want quieter evenings. A terrace and family rooms add flexibility for different group sizes, while the non-smoking policy throughout keeps indoor spaces fresh. If you’re road-tripping, the free parking is a practical advantage, and discounted offsite parking rates are available as well.
The location also works well for short outings: Livadia Beach is about 0.5 km away, making it easy to pop back between swims, while Ierapetra Fortress is roughly 1.5 km from the property for a dose of local history. For a broader sense of the coastline, Makrys Gialos shoreline is around 6 km, ideal for day trips and longer beach walks.
Votsalo is best for families and pet-friendly travellers who want a peaceful base in Ierápetra, plus for couples who prefer a quieter, residential feel over nightlife-centred areas.
