Lakki
Lakki is a pretty village with a planning that re- sembles that of a European town; eucalyptus trees border the streets in front of the imposing buildings in the Italian architectural style. The design and creation of a town on this scenic bay took place during the Italian rule (1930-1936). Lakki is the largest natural harbour of the east- ern Mediterranean and its bay was formerly a swamp. In order to drain the swamp waters, so as to be able to build their naval station and hy- droplane base, the Italians planted eucalyptus trees.
