Lato pros Kamara

Lato pros Kamara or simply Kamara or Camara (Ancient Greek: Καμάρα) or Lato Etera, was an ancient city of Crete, situated to the east of Olous (Ptol. iii. 17. § 5), at a distance of 15 stadia according to the Maritime Itinerary, currently the site of Agios Nikolaos, Crete. Xenion, a Cretan historian quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium (s. v.) says that it was once called "Lato" (Hoeck, Kreta, vol. i. pp. 10, 394, 116); however, modern scholarship distinguish the two (see, e.g., Richard Talbert, Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World, (ISBN 0-691-03169-X), Map 60 & notes.), placing Lato pros Kamara as the port of Lato. There are indications that Lato pros Kamara outlasted Lato well into the Roman times.
