In the summer of 1798, the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte conducted his campaign against the Mamluks in Egypt to protect French trade in the region and prevent British access to India. During his journey eastward, he is said to have spent one night in a house in Ierapetra.

Ierapetra (Greek: Ιεράπετρα) is a town in the southeast of the Greek Mediterranean island of Crete and the administrative center of the municipality of the same name (Greek: Δημος Dimos). It is the southernmost town in Europe (excluding Cyprus, which geographically belongs to Asia). Ierapetra lies at the narrowest point of Crete: from the south to the north coast, it is only 12 kilometers as the crow flies.

The city was heavily damaged during the Arab conquest in 824, but was subsequently rebuilt. It experienced a new golden age during the Venetian period from the 13th to the 17th centuries – since then it has borne its current name, Ierapetra. In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have stopped in Ierapetra during his campaign in Egypt. The house where he allegedly stayed is still open to the public today.

In antiquity, the city was called Hierapytna. The earliest remains of the city date back to the fifth century BC. It achieved dominance over the southeastern region of Crete; this golden age lasted until its conquest by the Romans in 67 BC. The Roman villa of Makrygialos dates from this period.
