Crete - Ruins of Lato Etera

Near the town Kritsa, 4km to the north, are the ruins of the ancient Greek city "Lato Etera" (the "other" Lato),
whose port was the "Lato pros Kamares" in Agios Nikolaos. "Lato Etera" must have been built during the
Archaic period (7th century B.C.), and it was famous as one of the most powerful towns in Crete, with two acropolies.
The city still preserves its main entrance. Archaeological excavations have brought to light shops, houses,
a sanctuary, a temple and a theatre.
The view to the Mirabello bay and the Lasithian mountains from this spot, is enchanting.
