The Municipality of Ierapetra continues its efforts to improve accessibility and enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities. As part of this commitment, several key upgrades have been made to local beaches:

• A SeaTrac motorised access system has been installed at the lower “Apovathra” beach, allowing fully independent and safe sea access for individuals with mobility challenges.

• Floating wheelchairs for people with disabilities are now available at the following spots:
– Upper beach behind the 3rd Junior High School
– Gra Lygia beach
– Pachia Ammos beach

In addition, three more floating wheelchairs of the same type are already in place at:
– Myrtos beach
– Makry Gialos beach
– Megali Paralia (Koutsounari)

These initiatives aim to ensure everyone can enjoy the sea safely and comfortably.
