Λασέα G2996
Lasea, a coastal city in Crete
Lasea was a minor port city on the southern coast of Crete, near Fair Havens. It appears only in Acts 27:8 during Paul's voyage to Rome, where the ship stopped before attempting the dangerous autumn journey westward. Archaeological identification remains uncertain, though the general location near modern Kali Limenes is accepted.
