The prefecture of Lasithi is the easternmost prefecture of Crete. It is a place full of antitheses. It combines the wild beauty of the mountains with the deep green, fertile fields and the picturesque villages with the modern towns.
Plurality is not a figure of speech here. It is a feature of Lasithi, as this prefecture can boast with three big towns: Agios Nikolaos – the capital of Lasithi,which has all the characteristics of a modern town but still keeps its traditional identity.
Ierapetra – the “ bride” of the Libyan Sea, as it is called,and Sitia with its – unaltered by the time and most important, by the action of man-beauty.
