Prefecture of Lassithi - Agios Nikolaos
The prefecture of Lassithi is located in
the eastern part of Crete. Its capital Agios Nikolaos (or
Agios Nicholaos) has about 9.000 inhabitants. The nearest
airport is Heraklion. The prefecture of Lassithi has two
other small towns, Sitia in the East and Ierapetra which
is the most southely town in Europe.
The region has two mountain ranges, Lassithi
and the lower Tripti range and is probably the least developed
region of Crete.
Touristically, Agios Nikolaos and the
whole bay of Mirabello have many hotels and resorts -
one of the most developed tourist area of Crete - but tourism
in the rest of the region is still very low key. The use
of the internet to promote hotels and accommodation is
also lagging behind and the small list of "usable web sites"
can be seen below.
