Agios Nikolaos, a coastal town in Crete, sits on the ancient site of Lato pros Kamara, once the seaport of the Dorian city Lato Etera. In the 13th century, the Venetians built the Mirabello fortress there, which was later destroyed and rebuilt several times. Today, Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the Lasithi region and a popular tourist spot. Visitors can explore the ruins of the Venetian fortress, relax by Lake Voulismeni, and visit nearby attractions like Spinalonga, a fortified island with a fascinating history as a leper colony. The town also features beautiful parks, interesting sculptures, and charming squares.
