Lonely Planet review

Ierapetra's one-room archaeological museum 2; admission around €2 ; ; - Tue-Sun) is perfect for those with a short concentration span. It does have a good collection of headless classical statuary and a superb statue of the goddess Persephone that dates from the 2nd century AD. Also notable is a larnax (clay coffin), dated around 1300 BC, decorated with 12 painted panels showing hunting scenes, an octopus and a chariot procession. The 1899 building was a school during Ottoman times.
