Crete - Greece
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea at 8336 km² (3219 square miles). Crete is one of the 13 peripheries of Greece and covers the same area as the Greek region of Crete from before the 1987 administrative reform. It forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece; while it retains its own local cultural traits (such as its own music and dialect), Cretans identify themselves as Greeks. Heraklion is the largest city and capital of Crete. ( source Wikipedia )

The Labyrinth of Crete
The Labyrinth of Crete
The Labyrinth of Crete is situated circa 3 km northeast from the archaeological site of Gortys at central Crete. It is an underground quarry in marly limestone, excavated probably during the Roman Period. It was first described and mapped in the 18th and 19th centuries. More detailed descriptions have been published recently. The cave comprises 2.5 km of corridors, leading to or connecting small and larger rooms covering almost an area of one hectare.The Labyrinth of Gortys is connected to Greek Mythology and more especially to Theseus and Minotaurus, at least from the 9th century AD. According to many Travellers' reports and 16th century maps, the Labyrinth of Gortys was one of the first and most significant Cretan attractions, at least from the beginning of the 15th century. Visits were relatively organized, with Greek guides leading the visitors inside to the cave. These guided tours were carried on until at least the Second World War. From the beginning of the 15th century, many Travelers to Crete visited the Labyrinth, and stressed the existence of the numerous inscriptions they were shown on the cave's walls. The first was that of Christophoro Buondelmonti who visited Labyrinth on 1415. The inscriptions made by the visitors of the famous cave are found mostly on the walls of the rooms -especially the more distant ones- but also on the walls of the corridors and the rubble-stone interior walls.

Cretan music (1): Glykeria - Michalis Tzouganakis
Cretan music (1): Glykeria - Michalis Tzouganakis
Glykeria and Michalis Tzouganakis performing "Auton ton kosmo ton kalo" followed by a series of "sousta" tunes with "mantinades". Video from the show "Stin Ygeia Mas", which was aired on 19th of November 2005 on NET channel (Greece). I just loved to see Glykeria singing Cretan music. Personally, I believe she is one of the most important Greek singers - and how the &"^$% does she manage to look younger every time I see her? What to say about Michalis Tzouganakis. He must be one of the five best lute players in the whole world at the moment! He is by far my favourite Cretan musician (alive!).
