Lasea was a city on the south coast of Crete, named in Luke's detailed account of Paul's voyage to Rome as lying near the harbor called Fair Havens where the ship sheltered (Acts 27:8). Its ruins were rediscovered in the nineteenth century a few miles east of Fair Havens, confirming the precise geography behind Luke's narrative, a detail often cited as evidence of Luke's care as a historian of the voyage.
