Lassithi, Crete,
Greece |
|
Lassithi
is the fourth prefecture of Crete, on the east part of
the island, covering an area of 1,818 sq.km. It is
filled with long sandy beaches, small isles scattered
around the blue waters and green valleys with small
villages and warm colours.
The capital of the prefecture is Agios Nikolaos, a
picturesque harbour built on the Mirabello Bay. This
cosmopolitan port gathers all the elements a visitor may
come across in the prefecture. The wonderful atmosphere
of the harbour, with its fishing boats and traditional
cafes, the developed tourism, the hospitable people and
the vivid rhythm of the everyday events are all an
indication of the varicolored texture of this special
place.
Another important town of the prefecture is Ieraperta.
Facing gloriously the Libyan Sea, it is the southernmost
town of Europe, a significant port with the majestic
fortress and the long beach. Other developed towns are
the port of Sitia on the east part and the cosmopolitan
Elounda. Many villages present a special beauty in the
prefecture, such as the beautiful Lassithi plateau, with
hundreds of windmills, the famous Vai area, with a dense
forest of 5,000 palm trees and Neapoli, that lies on a
green valley, full of olive trees and vineyards.
Lassithi prefecture bears a part of the long Cretan
history. It is a place with many remarkable venetian and
turkish monuments and with important archaeological
sites. The most well-known are the towns of Lato,
Gournia, Itanos, Mohlos, Myrtos and Zakros, all with
remains of ancient Minoan or Postminoan settlements and
palaces. You can also visit many superb buildings of the
venetian era, Turkish mosques and Byzantine churches in
various harbours and villages of the prefecture.
During your visit to Lassithi prefecture you will find
that life has its own rhythm, the traditions are
carefully followed and the people always take the time
to enjoy their most precious possession, the wonderful
landscape of Lassithi prefecture. Living under a warm
sun the colours of gold from the beaches of Spinaloga
and Hrissi, of green from the vineyards in small valleys
and of blue of the deep waters of the surrounding sea
continue to present an inspiration for the traditions
and arts of the locals.
