Guide of Crete Guide of crete Continue The Crete section of Crete is filled with history and picturesque scenery. Archaeological sites, historical sites, fascinating museums, isolated monasteries, wandering hiking trails and more await you in this amazing place. Venice of the East hanya is characterized by a combination of Venetian, Ottoman and neoclassical monuments and architecture. Its streets are narrow, colourful and picturesque, passing by flowering balconies, traditional knife shops, Cretan shops, lively restaurants and cozy cafes. Don't miss the beautiful promenade along the Venetian port, where you can see the Venetian lighthouse, one of the symbols of Hania. The Venetian fortress of Cules, also known as Castello Mare (meaning fort by sea), is one of heraclion's main attractions and is located on the old harbour. This large square structure was built in the 16th century to protect the city and was subsequently armed with cannons. The rooftop offers scenic views of the sea and the town of Heraklion. Founded in 1953, the Crete Historical Museum in Heracion contains a permanent collection, demonstrating the history of Crete from the third century AD to the end of World War II. Artifacts, paintings, sculptures, manuscripts and other items of interest are displayed in chronological order, with visuals, multimedia and audio guide available during your visit to help you learn more about Crete's fascinating past. Part of the museum is dedicated to the famous writer Nikos Kazanakikis. Another highlight of the exhibition are two paintings by the Greek artist El Greco: The Epiphany of Christ and a view of Mount Sinai and st. Catherine's Monastery. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions. The ruins of knossos Palace, the largest and most brilliant centre of Minoan civilization, are located 5 km south of the historic centre of Heraklion. The winding corridors and stairwells, which used to connect up to five floors, create a truly labyrinthine complex that rivals the mythological Minoan Labyrinth. Located in the centre of Heraklion, this museum is one of the most important archaeological museums in the world, thanks to its unrivalled collection of bronze-age Minoan artefacts. The exhibits cover a period of ten millennia, from the Neolithic era to the late Roman times. The introductory texts in each room explain the key features of each period, and hence the evolution of culture. The Natural History Museum of Crete represents not only the island's natural riches, but the entire Eastern Mediterranean. Here you will find, among other things, a center of discovery for children, earthquake simulator, aquariums and terrariums, a large collection of fossils and a copy of the largest mammal ever living in Crete 9 million years ago. You can also learn about geological Crete, about plants and organisms that thrive on the island or about extinct and endangered species. Beasts are displayed by accurate representations in their real measurements (dioramas). The museum also has an open-air botanical garden. Elounda, with its luxurious villas and hotels, is the preferred escape of the rich and famous. From Elounda, you can take a 25-minute boat ride to Spinalonga Island, famous for its well-preserved Venetian fortress, small pebble beaches and one of the last leper colonies in Europe. The Samaria Gorge is the longest and one of the most imposing gorges in Europe. Perhaps the most popular trekking path of Greece passes along its path, passing by a variety of landscapes, water sources, various types of trees, rocks, pools and impressive rocks. The gorge is 18 kilometres long and has a width of 150 to 3-4 metres at its narrowest point, known as The Ciderports. The walk through the gorge starts at Xiloskalo, in Omala (at an altitude of 1,200 meters), and takes 4 to 8 hours, depending on the speed of walking. Another way to explore Crete is by hiking and hiking. The E4 European Walking Trail in Crete has 91 walking trails with a total length of 560 km, crossing a variety of landscapes and rare ecosystems. If you want to complete all the way, you should allow 3 or 4 weeks to do so, but you can also choose the trails that appeal most to you. For more information on the path to Crete, visit the website below. Heraklion's fortification works are considered to be among the most important in the Eastern Mediterranean. Built in the first Byzantine period (330-840 AD), these fortifications were supplemented by Arabs (840-961), Byzantines (961-1204) and Venetians (after 1211). Under the threat of invasion of the Turks in 1462 was added a three-kilometer wall with four gates and seven bastions, which is visible to this day. This museum is dedicated to the famous Cretan author Nikos Kazansakis, who wrote Greek zorbu and The Last Temptation of Christ. Among the exhibits are his personal correspondence and diaries, souvenirs from his travels, photographs, models of theatrical scenery and costumes from performances of his plays, rare audiovisual materials, works of art inspired by his books. At an altitude of 850 meters, the Lasiti Plateau is the largest mountain plain in Crete. It has now been transformed into a giant garden. There are many settlements on the plain where you can try local delicacies and the traditional drink of crayfish. The Lasiti Plateau and its surroundings are also ideal for hiking or even cycling and mountain biking. The main attraction is the cave Diktheon above the village of Psydro, where, according to legend, the god zevs was born and grew up. Panagia Akrotriani Cape) cape) Toplu Monastery, which is one of Crete's most impressive historical sites. It is a real bastion and a living museum of the monastic history of the island. There is a small but solemn and stirring two-provodation church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. John the Theologian, decorated with frescoes that are still preserved and depicting a random screen with remarkable icons of the 18th century. Ecclesiastic Art Museum houses some of Crete's most significant icons, including Megas ei Kyrie', (Great Art of You, Lord), a 1770 icon by Ioannis Kornaros. The icon consists of four main sections, further divided into 57 small areas, and includes hundreds of individuals who come together superbly to depict the Great Blessing of Water. Organic vineyards in the monastery produce organic wine of excellent quality, as well as you can visit the winery. The palace complex and the town of Faisto were built on a hill with stunning panoramic views. Attractions to step out on include the Lasiti Mountains in the background, and the green hills that surround the city. Faistos was the second largest Minoan city and an important administrative center in south-central Crete. The Minoan city covered a large area around the palace complex. Mythology connects Faistos with Radamantus, the brother of Minos, whose dynasty is believed to rule the city. According to another story, it was founded by Phaistos, the son of Hercules. Homer noted that the city was involved in the Trojan War, led by Idomeni, the king of Knossos and the whole of Crete. Arcadia Monastery was built at the end of Venetian rule. In addition to the monks' cells, the central building also houses warehouses, stables and facilities for the processing of agricultural products. The two-proffy church, dedicated to St. Constantine and St. Helena and the Transfiguration of the Savior, is one of the most important architectural monuments of the Cretan Renaissance. It was completed in 1587 and its facade clearly demonstrates the penetration of Western architectural trends in the 16th and 17th century Crete. Between the cities of Hanya and Retimnon, on the northern edge of the White Mountains, is Lake Kurna, the only freshwater lake in Crete. Crete is the place that must steal your heart. It is a charming and mysterious island with some of the most hospitable people on earth. There are endless places to visit, things to do, and dishes to eat - you will never get bored on this Greek island.

  • Leading up to Travel...Leading up to Leaving for Greece I Was Already Travel-Weary from a Trip to Pittsburgh. I Spent the Even
    Leading up to Travel.... Leading up to leaving for Greece I was already travel-weary from a trip to Pittsburgh. I spent the evening resting with Tracy, wrapped up in affection. I felt so grateful to have found her and to share such deep love with her. At 3 am I packed, and was ready to pick up Roger at 6 am. We got a ride from my dad, who managed to tell Roger his life story on the way to Harrisburg. My dad followed a parking lot cleaner around the parking lot of Harrisburg Mall, trying to ask where the bus picks people up. The only problem is, a street cleaner has his head out the window looking at the curb. So dad circled the parking lot a couple of times and actually stopped the car and jumped out in front of the cleaner's path in order to ask for directions. I had already told my dad I knew the approximate pick up spot, but he wanted to make sure. Well, Dad found the exact spot and we were happy about it. The Megabus picked us up and took us to DC. I edited photos and requested couches in Europe on the way using bus wifi. When we arrived in DC we got lunch in Union station and took the metro to Reagan airport. Then we flew to JFK and had an excruciating layover. Roger and I were in good spirits. We killed time by people- watching. I saw celebrity look-alikes like Bill Gates (every middle- aged white guy with glasses), Tony Hawk (every 40 year old white male with street style and longish hair) and a woman that looked exactly the way Michael Jackson wished he looked.

Ruscillo) The descriptions and catalogues in Chap. 4.1–4.7 include a variety of materials recovered through 1997 in important stratigraphic contexts within the area of the Minoan civic build- ings. The chapter contents do not include wall or construction plasters (see Chap. 2) or pot- tery (see Chap. 3). They may not include all minor objects found in fills. Since the studies in both parts of Kommos I focused on the finds from all areas through 1985, many of the objects from the civic buildings are discussed therein and are sometimes only mentioned in the present chapter. Also, some of the main studies of find categories (e.g., loomweights, metal- working, and stone tools) are in the two parts of Kommos I, where the objects are well illus- trated. Illustrations here, therefore, have been kept to a minimum. Effort has been made to reference each object to the archaeological context within which it was found, often in the form of citation of the stratigraphy as revealed through stylistic ceramic horizons. Those from post-Minoan contexts (where some may still be Minoan) are usually to be found in Kommos IV, which discusses the Greek Sanctuary.

Whilst looking forward to Belgian haute cuisine and beers, most society members worried about the weather in October. Fortunately, last year we engineered a solution Your Organizing Committee for the latter problem. Why not have the meeting on the sun‐soaked Mediterranean Sea, in an even more stunning historical location than Bruges, Ghent or Brussels? The true reason for this unusual move if not risk, only nine months after an extremely well attended and successful meeting at Chatham, Cape Cod, is not cultural or indeed metereologic.

  • ABSTRACT GALLEN, SEAN FRANCIS. the Development of Topography in Ancient and Active Orogens: Case Studies of Landscape Evolution
    ABSTRACT GALLEN, SEAN FRANCIS. The Development of Topography in Ancient and Active Orogens: Case Studies of Landscape Evolution in the Southern Appalachians, USA and Crete, Greece. (Under the direction of Karl Wegmann). Understanding the development of topography is fundamental to the geosciences. Topography represents the sum of all tectonic and geodynamic processes that force the earth’s surface upward paired with those that act to bring it down. Spatial and temporal changes in topographic relief can modulate the various feedbacks between atmospheric, earth surface and rock exhumation processes, sediment flux, and the magnitude and style of gravity driven natural hazards. Plate tectonics provides the first-order framework necessary to understand how topography is built through the interaction of lithospheric plates. However, density contrasts in the mantle can also influence the elevation of the earth’s surface through dynamic topography, while poorly understood nuances of mountain building at convergent margins complicate drawing direct connections between tectonics and topography. Such linkages are further confounded by non-linearity between rock uplift and erosion, variations in rates of deformation, changes in climate and the properties of bedrock. Great advances in our understanding of the evolution of topography have been achieved, yet numerous questions remain regarding the evolution of topography in ancient and active orogens. This research addresses knowledge gaps in the development of topography through case- studies of landscape evolution in the southern Appalachians Mountains, USA and the forearc overlying the Hellenic subduction zone. Chapter 1 explores the origins of modern topographic relief in the southern Appalachians, where tectonic activity ceased prior to 200 Ma.

Gold Before the Palaces: Crafting Jewelry and Social Identity in Minoan Crete Abstract During the period c. 2000 – 1800 BC, the first civilization was established in urE ope, as illustrated by the development of palace-centered societies in Minoan Crete. However, the extent to which stratified society existed before the second millennium BC is unclear. This study focuses on the development of ranked society in prepalatial Crete, as evidenced by the manufacturing, use, and deposition of gold and silver jewelry. Indications of social stratification are also explored in the material remains of sites where jewelry was recovered. Research objectives include an investigation of where, how, and why new forms of jewelry appeared in Crete and the impact jewelry had on the forging of individual and group identities. Jewelry is evaluated utilizing contextual, formal, technological, and functional analyses. In addition, human agency and instances of individual decision-making are revealed in association with the production and use of these objects. To place prepalatial Minoan jewelry in perspective, a comparison of this material with jewelry recovered from sites in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Balkans is conducted.
