Napoleon’s House
Stroll in Ierapetra’s old quarter to discover Napoleon’s house, one of the area’s typical tourist attractions. The house has been bought by the municipality, and according to legends, Napoleon Bonaparte stayed incognito with a local family in 1798 on his way to Egypt. The building might seem mild as it only boasts a simple, modest facade, but keep in mind that in the 17th century, the possession of such property certainly constituted the owner’s wealth.
