One of the most southern places on Crete is the village of
Lendas, 73 km southeast from Iraklion. Meanwhile
there is a good connection and not much tourism. The village lies at the
coast with the mountain in the background. Some taverns und not expensive
rooms. Who wants to make camping should go to the other beach nearby.
The shape of the peninsula is responsible for the name
Lendas, what means lion. Archeological sites from ancient Greek and Roman
periods, also Byzantine churches. The ancient Levin and it's harbour were
located here.
