Lentas is a small fishing village, situated in south Crete, 75 km away from Heraklion, the capital city of Crete.

There is a natural boundary, west of the village, a small cape in the shape of a sitting lion, gazing at the sea: Lentas derives its name from this… “Leontas” is the Greek word for lion.

Lentas enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate: dry and cool in the summer months and warm during the winter makes Lentas the ideal summer as well as winter getaway spot.
