On the east of the village, opposite the Psamidomouri Cape there is a rock that reminds of a crouching elephant, with another beach formed opposite the rock. Furthermore, even further, Cape Trafoulas resembles a crocodile from Lendas.
Thus, a legend was born that says that once Cleopatra came to Lendas with her favorite animals, namely lion, crocodile and elephant. She was very impressed by this place, so when she decided to return to Egypt, she left behind the animals to guard the place. Indeed, these “animals” still remain here, waiting patiently for the return of Cleopatra.
