Crete Neapolis Lassithi: The beautiful city of Neapolis is 15 kilometres north-west of Agios Nikolaos on the highway linking the capital of Lassithi to Heraklion. It is where the provincial courts are still located (Neapolis used to be the capital of Lassithi) and is the seat of the local government.

It is a very attractive place where visitors can admire some beautiful Turkish ruins, the fine churches of Agia Ekaterini and Panagia Kera Goniotissa and the monasteries of Kremasta and Agios Georgios Vrahatsiotis.

Numerous accommodations of all categories can be found in beautiful Neapolis as well as various restaurants, cafes, bars and taverns. The Archaeological Museum of Neapolis is of great interest.
