'''Lasithi''' (Greek: Λασήθι) is a [[prefecture]] of [[Greece]] on the island of [[Crete]]. It lies east of the prefecture of [[Heraklio prefecture|Heraklion]]. Its capital is [[Agios Nikolaos]], the other major tows are [[Ierapetra]], [[Sitia]] and [[Neapoli, Crete|Neapoli]]. The mountains includes the [[Dikte]] to the west and the [[Sitia mountains]] to the east.
