Achlia is a picturesque coastal settlement on the southern shores of the Lasithi prefecture, east of Ierapetra.

The area is known for the tranquility it offers and its characteristic natural beauty, combining the wild Cretan landscape with the blue of the Libyan Sea.

The most noteworthy feature of the area is Achlia Beach, a sheltered cove with crystal-clear waters that attracts those seeking relaxation. On the eastern part of the coastline, the site "Beach the old hag's jump"  is of particular interest, featuring a unique name and geological character.

A tour of Achlia reveals a place ideal for vacations, as the settlement offers various accommodation options in villas and hotels with panoramic sea views. Its strategic location on the Ierapetra-Sitia provincial road makes it easily accessible, while allowing visitors to explore wider southeastern Crete while maintaining a sense of isolation and peace.
