Extractions: Minoan archaeology and Greek myth point to cave peoples as the predecessors of the Minoans. Indeed, the first inhabitants of Crete, in the 6th millenium BCE are pastoral/agricultural and live in caves. They probably migrated to Crete from Anatolia (Asia Minor), though there is some linguistic evidence for Saharan origins. Though no pre-Neolithic settlements have been found in Crete or in the Cycladic islands, obsidian from this area has been found on the Greek Mainland as early as the Upper Paleolithic.

Extractions: ADVERTISING INFORMATION Heraklion - Culture C rete's distinctive amalgam has produced a culture that remains unique even within Greece. It is worth pointing out that Cretan culture is considered to be the mother of all Greek civilization originated on Crete. C retans are considered to be very friendly and traditionally hospitable people. They have their own mindset, too. F irst they are Cretans, and then they are Greeks. For Greeks, Crete is stereotypically the last and last bastion of freedom and a repository of practices and follies long since disappeared elsewhere in the nation. To foreigners as well, Cretans (with a long "e", as opposed to "cretin") may seem to embody all of the Greek virtues and vices but in fourfold measure. M oderation is scorned; rustling, blood feuds, marriage by abduction, three - day festivals, courageous resistance against hopeless odds, and self - abnegating generosity were until very recently staples of a life that contributed to the legend of the Kritiki (Greek for Cretans) as Super - Greeks, a reputation that the islanders themselves seem loath to counter or gainsay.

Extractions: October 12, 2001 - March 31, 2002 Crete: Portrait of a Changing Culture is a black and white photographic and oral narrative series produced during Nancy Backas' recent travels to the Greek Island of Crete. Backas, a native Illinois artist, began studying photography in college, and has seriously pursued this art form for the past six years. This interest, in addition to her twenty-years of experience as a writer, editor and researcher, have gracefully converged into this artistic undertaking. In this exhibition, Nancy Backas passionately explores the spirit of life on the Greek Island of Crete. She examines the ways in which the distant Minoan past is reflected in the simple life here. Yet, this is approached with an awareness of how, as a result of entry into the European Union, this way of life is changing and possibly vanishing. Her photographs, as well as her accompanying personal narratives, tell the story of this shifting culture. Crete

Extractions: Crete Property Consultants Greek Culture Stepping back into another century Katy Hamilaki has created a charming restaurant tucked away in the secluded village of Katalagari; only 15 minutes drive from Hiraklion. If you want to explore real Crete, then a visit to this village for a great meal and a walk among the wild flowers in Spring, winemaking in Autumn and many other local, traditional events all the year round. Katalagari, a rural village, surrounded by clean, lush countryside and pure fresh air - stunning mountain and rural views is the home to 'Logari'. Every week school children from around Crete are brought to the village to learn the basics of Cretan cooking, how to find snails and herbs and with a small screen and projector learn to enjoy some of the history of the cuisine. They are shown how to bake bread, and return home with a small loaf to bake in their own ovens at home when the dough is ready. Many plans ferment in Katy’s fertile mind. Aromatic bottles of oil, Cretan dancing lessons... the real thing again, not the presentation made for "Cretan evenings" by the tour guides nearby to the tourist resorts. Here, in Katalogari, Katy Hamilaki presents, and enjoys a return to Crete as it was not so long ago. All are welcome, single passers by, cyclists, parties for special celebrations or locals looking for a warm, relaxing meal. In winter the huge log fire blazes sending the scent of olive wood through the restaurant and in summer the big windows open onto the roof terrace with panoramic rural views spreading out before diners eyes.

Extractions: AFRICAN INFLUENCED FORERUNNER OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATIONS By RUNOKO RASHIDI "The first civilization of Europe was established on the island of Crete. It is called the Minoan Culture, after King Minos, an early legendary ruler of the island. The ancestors of the Cretans were natives of Africa, a branch of Western Ethiopians." John G. Jackson M inoan Crete, the forerunner of Greek civilization, is the earliest known European high-culture. Although modest in size (170 miles east to west, thirty-five miles north to sourth), Crete exercised immeasurable influence on the Aegean archipelago, Western Asia and the Greek mainland. Throughout Crete the vestiges of complex palaces, paved highways, aqueducts, terra-pipes for drainage, and irrigation canals provide plentiful proof of Minoan ingenuity in the areas of scientific and technical innovation. The Minoans possessed registed trademarks, uniform weights and measures, calendrical systems based on precise astronomical observations and advanced writing systems. Interestingly enough, there were few fortifications on the island. British archaeologist Arthur Evans (1851-1941), who conducted excavations on the island, was convinced of African migrations to ancient Crete and noted "the multiplicity of these connections with the old indigenous race of the opposite African coast." The late African-American cultural historian John G. Jackson (1907-1993) advocated the view the Minoan civilization was rooted in Africa, and believed that the ancestors of the Minoans "dwelt in the grasslands of North Africa before that area dried up and became a great desert. As the Saharan sands encroached on their homeland, they took to the sea, and in Crete and neighboring islands set up a maritime culture."

http://www.united-hellas.com/tourism/crete/

Extractions: Crete offers many surprises in its changing nature...forests of palm trees meet tall mountains, then majestic plateaus and then the sea. But it is a sea you have never seen before. Because this one will make you feel you are a part of its hidden world, the beaches will place you on gentle waves that carry elements of ancient cultures from distant places. And then you can visit the famous gorges and the deep forests with the living wild life. Crete also carries a long history that goes back to the 7th millennium BC. It is the island that brought us the Minoan civilization with buildings of perfect architecture, and where later came the religious Byzantium years from which many monasteries are still preserved today. Crete also cultivated a rich culture that offered us El Greco and Nikos Kazantzakis, that developed unique customs, dances and music visible even in the present modernized life. A big part of what makes Crete a very special place is its people. The proud men and women of Crete, the hospitable locals that under romantic nights will welcome you inside a little cafe or an ouzery of a picturesque village and offer you Greek coffee or tsikoudia with meze (raki with spicy snacks).

http://www.atlantia.de/atlantis_english/myth/atlantis/atlantis_thera_crete.htm

Extractions: This eruption tore off a substantial part of the island which then sank in the Aegean Sea. From that point in time the island had the shape of a sickle. Thera is situated north of the island of Crete and southeast of Greece in the Mediterranean Sea. This map elaborated by the Greek seismologist Dr A. Galanopoulos shows the island of Thera. He suggests that the capitol of Atlantis was located in the centre of the crater. The circular walls and channels described in the Atlantis report are clearly depicted. Consider the following excerpt from Platos dialogue: (...)First of all they bridged over the zones of sea which surrounded the ancient metropolis, making a road to and from the royal palace.(...)

Extractions: Linking People in Mutual Understanding Worldwide REQUEST INFORMATION HOW TO APPLY ARCHIVE VOLUME 30 FOCUS ON: THE GREEK ISLAND OF CRETE Minoan Crete maintained an extensive network of trading links that brought influences drawn from Egypt and Mesopotamia to Crete. The Minoans exported pottery, grains, wines, and oils, and tended to import luxury materials such as precious metals, jewels, and ivory. Minoan culture gave rise to several great cities that featured stone buildings and provision for a water supply and drainage. The city adjacent to the great Palace of Knossos was home, at it's peak, to almost one hundred thousand people. Knossos was thus one of the first major cities in human history! In the New Palace Period the trade routes between other places and Crete increased. Minoan trading stations existed in various Aegean Islands such as Kythera, Milos, Kea, Thira, Karpathos, Rhodes as well as in Asia Minor (Miletos), in Syria, and in Egypt (Faros). As the "crossroads" for several trading routes, culture of Crete became blended with those from empires of all directions. This contributed significantly to the cosmopolitan nature of contemporary Crete. Highlights in Recent History: Self-determination became an obsession in the mid-20th century.

Extractions: The Minoan Linear A script inscribed on the renowned Festos Disk is one such example. This script has not been deciphered yet. Let us not forget that this script gave cause to Englishman Sir Arthur Evans to come to Crete and start excavations which resulted in the uncovering of the famous palace of Knossos. This also marks the beginning of a long journey for Cretan Archaeology The Linear A script instigated new research around the town of Gortyn and attracted the attention of Italian researchers, among them Federico Albert. In addition, it fired the imagination of other researchers from around the world who came to Crete to search for more ancient texts and tablets. This resulted in numerous excavations and a wealth of findings. Since the Renaissance and up to the 19th century, expert travelers on Crete were very interested in examining the rare documents kept in the monasteries of the island.

Extractions: Crete, the age old cross road of civilizations, the cradle of knowledge and the cornerstone of modern Europe, is awarded a leading role in the events as its major town, Heraklion, has been nominated Olympic city to host the first events of the Olympic Games. Renowned historical figures from Crete left their indelible marks in numerous ancient Olympic Games either as organizers or as athletes. Historical records provide incontestable proof that many ancient athletes from Crete returned to the island crowned with the "Kotinos", the olive branch wreath awarded to Olympic winners. Cretans have a tradition in taking the winners' stand during Olympic Games, particularly in track events, a fact which is associated with the particular geomorphology of the Cretan terrain imposing "survival of the fittest" conditions. It is no accident that track competitors were pooled from the young and robust members of the Cretan populace. Cretan runners were distinguished for their speed and entitled to carry arms. This qualified them as military couriers who covered fast long distances on foot that were also combat ready.

Extractions: Crete is located to the southern end of Europe, it is the closest European Region to the equator and almost equidistant from mainland Europe (110 km), Asia (175 km) and Africa (300 km). These geographic characteristics of the island provide Crete with a unique chance to play a key role in the international scene. Crete is Greeces largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean basin. It covers an area of 8.336 square km, which is 6.3% of the total area of Greece. Its population of 603.000 houses 5,5 % of the countrys people. Crete is the 13th Region of Greece and is divided into four regional councils. The two biggest cities of Crete, Heraklion and Chania , are also the two main gateways for people and trade. The terrain of the land stamps from mountainy capacities with trace about the 50% of the total area and create inter-se fertile flats area (22.5 % of the total). However Crete has important more than the average of the country agricultural land (37.8%) and rangelands (53.1%) but a few forest .The greater part of the agricultural land is situated to the prefecture of Heraklion (44%) and the least to the prefecture of Chania (17%), which however is the second extension (28,5 % of the total land). The water potential of the Region is limited and it is of unequal parts allotted. The role of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean was particularly important in ancient times. Lying at the crossroads of three continents and many routes, it was a meeting point for different peoples, a melting pot over the centuries, for the most ancient and diverse civilisations from East and West. A Greek land, a unique amalgam of elements derived from the creative assimilation of multifarious cultural forms. A junction of the roads of civilisation, the roads followed by conquerors, merchants and travellers, the road of collision and synthesis which marked Cretes long history and spurred the development of Europes oldest civilisation.
