The Prefecture of Lassithi Crete, or Agios Nikolaos as some call it after its capital, is the easternmost prefecture on the island. The prefecture is well-known for its excellent archaeological sites, as well as the one-of-a-kind in Europe Palm Tree Forest on Vai Beach. Besides its historical monuments, amazing natural beauty, endless mountain ranges, impressive gorges, lush fields and dazzling beaches, Lassithi has scenic villages, where visitors are greeted with a warm smile and genuine hospitality, making the prefecture a superb Greek holiday destination for everyone!

The hillsides of Lassithi are beautiful, with hidden natural paradises where you can relax and refect. The long shoreline guarantees marvelous beaches where you may spend your leisure time basking in the sun and bathing in the clean waters of the Cretan and the Libyan Seas. Once you have worked up an appetite, you can dine on scrumptious Cretan dishes made with local produce and meats, drink an invigorating cup of coffee and be off for an evening of dancing at the bars and clubs located throughout the Lassithi Prefecture.
When planning your holiday in Lassithi Crete, rest assured that you will find the accommodation of your choice that satisfies both your budget and your need. The sheer abundance of i hotels, apartments, studios, villas, and rooms for rent provides guests with a wonderful selection to choose from.

In Lassithi visitors will find a great number of both popular beaches and quiet beaches. The most crowded northern-shore beaches include, of course, the beaches located around the capital of the prefecture, Agios Nikolaos, as well as the beaches of Almyros, Ammoudara, Elounda, Istro, Plaka and Sitia. In fact, Elounda Beach is one of Crete's most frequented holiday destinations. If you are vacationing on the southern side of Lassithi and are looking for popular spots, you should swim at the Lassithi beaches of Myrtos, Makrygialos and Ierapetra. Many people gather at the stunning Palm Tree Beach of Vai on the eastern coast of Lassithi, which is one of a kind in Europe.

Lassithi is blessed with one of the best climates in Greece, and indeed Europe. Iti is located at the southernmost point of the continent, yet offers pleasantly warm and dry summers and mild winters. The fact that Crete, and therefore Lassithi, is an island means that cool and refreshing winds are able to reduce the effects of the hot Mediterranean sun, making it a comfortable holiday destination during both summer and winter. The climate in the mountains and the seaside are very different. Snow may fall on the peaks of Mt. Dikti, while at the same time weather in Elounda, for example, may be fairly temperate
