| | ALPHA & OMEGA. Ierapetra Crete |
 | | Paul Coopers, an invisible hero of contemporary Crete, hasn’t lived long enough to see the success of his vision (he was killed in a road accident in 1968), but the farmers of Ierapetra have honored him with a statue, on the site of his first greenhouse. |
 | | The same fish still has an exquisite taste, but we still prefer "skaros", a parrot fish named scientifically "scarus cretensis" as it only lives here in the Mediterranean, often cooked as "stifado" (stew with onions) or served with gumbos, a very exotic dish. |
 | | There is a neighborhood called "Soho" by locals, as in Aghios Nikolaos, where all the bars clubs are concentrated, neatly arranged, those playing Greek music along the sea front, while those with more international listenings a street inland. |
