Mponta beach – a convenient seclusion
Located just below the main road connecting Ierapetra to Makrygialos, Mponta (or Grias Pidima) is a relatively secluded beach, compared to other beaches in the nearby area, at a distance of just 900 meters west of Villa SouthCrete. “Mponta” (GR: μπόντα) is a forgotten word of the Cretan dialect and means small river or stream.
