Acts 27:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The fair havens; or, the fair or good shore, that being accounted the best which is safest for ships to ride in or enter into. A place of this name remains to this day (as some tell us) in the island of Candia. Lasea; called Lasos, and more inland; yet some think that this town is not certainly known, not having been mentioned by any ancient geographer.

Acts 27:8

8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
