The old port town is located in a small bay at the foot of the Asterousia Mountains. Because of its remote location, Lentas is a very quiet place with no traffic, which is preferably visited by individual travelers, backpackers and families. There are no large hotel complexes in the village - you stay in small private apartments. We counted a total of 12 taverns or cafes. The small beach is actually great for swimming, but in May 2024 it was full of Posidonia.

Picture-book village on the Libyan Sea. Firmly in the hands of German tourists. It is tranquil, very tranquil. Lentas is known above all for the Sleeping Lion - there is a beautiful story about it, you can look it up
