Arkadi Monastery 2. Eleftherna Archaeological Site & Museum 3. Margarites Ceramic Village Culture Arkadi Monastery: The historic Arkadi Monastery (4km from Kapsaliana Village hotel) is the second most visited place in Crete after the archaeological site of Knossos. Arkadi is sacred place of the holocaust for 930 Cretans who blew themselves up and sacrificed rather than surrender to Ottomans. As the struggle culminated in 1866, local priests and villagers-warriors, women and children, locked themselves up in the monastery and blasted the gunpowder warehouse to avoid surrendering to the Turks. Nowadays Arkadi Monastery is recognised by UNESCO as a word monument of freedom. Eleftherna Archaeological Site & Museum: Nestled in the slope of Mount Ida, the ancient city of Eleutherna was built in the 9th century B.C. and prospered until 796 A. C., when it vanished from the map due to Arab attacks and a tremendous earthquake. Most traces of the ancient city-state had been erased until the Ministry of Culture granted the University of Crete permission to excavate the site in 1985. Nowadays Eleftherna is the most important archaeological site of Western Crete and its recently launched archeological museum is tantamount to those of Olympia, Delphi, and Vergina. Culture Margarites Ceramic Village: Margarites, the village of “pithari” (:greek oil jar) artists that boasts a long tradition in ceramic art, where pottery has been the main occupation of its inhabitants until recently. Make sure you visit the ceramic workshops and shops that keep this legacy alive. Enjoy the gorgeous views to the Cretan Sea and discover its Venetian roots. The itinerary ‘Kapsaliana – Arkadi – Eleftherna – Margarites’ is enchanting and characteristic of the Cretan landscape. The morphology of the land, the view and natural beauty render the experience of this journey unique. Amari Valley – Southern of Kapsaliana Village: Nestled at the foothills of the majestic Psiloriti (Idi) mountain, the highest in Crete, Amari valley comprises of many villages and is one of the most beautiful corners of the Cretan mainland. Old Byzantine churches, Minoan settlements and wild mountains are dispersed throughout. The gorge of Patsos, the cave of St. Anthony, the ancient town of Sivrytos, the monastery of Asomati, the Minoan settlements in Monastiraki and Apodoulou are the most famous sights of Amari.

At this point there is a high rolling plateau 500 metres above the sea and quite near the north edge of this is the monastery. A new church ten minutes north of the monastery is nearly on the edge of this plateau. At a later visit I came to Arkadi from, I think, Anogia and lost the way a good deal and arrived in the evening by recognising this new church and making for it, as it is conspicuous a long way off whilst the monastery itself is hidden from the north and east by the rising ground upon which this church stands. It can be seen from the sea, but the monastery itself cannot. A gorge wooded with scrub cuts into this plateau and almost at the top of this gorge at its east side is Arkadi. From the gorge one sees only the Heroon and the tops of a few trees by the moni.

    χω την τύχη, αλλά πάνω από όλα την τιµή, να είµαι γεννηµένος σε έναν από τους πιο ευλογηµένους τόπους της Κρήτης. Σε έναν τόπο που αναθράφηκα, που γαλουχήθηκα, που έκανα τα πρώτα µου βήµατα και είπα τις πρώτες µου λέξεις. Μεγαλώνοντας σ’ Εαυτόν τον τόπο συναναστράφηκα σπουδαίους ανθρώπους, ανθρώπους µε ήθος, µε αγνή καρδιά, αξιοπρέπεια και ήθος που πάλευαν να κρατήσουν τα ήθη και τα έθιµα αυτού του τόπου, περήφανοι για τα ένδοξα έργα των προγόνων τους. Δύσκολα ο ποιητής µπορεί να περιγράψει την απαράµιλλη οµορφιά που πλανιέται ανάµεσα στους ελαιώνες που καταλήγουν µέχρι την ακροθαλασσιά, την οµορφιά του σφυρίγµατος του αγέρα µέσα στα φαράγγια, το δέος µπροστά στο ηρωικό µοναστήρι του Αρκαδιού. Δύσκολα ο ζωγρά- φος θα µπορέσει να µεταφέρει στον καµβά του το γαλάζιο του ουρανού, το αντανάκλασµα του ήλιου στους τοίχους των βενετσιάνικων αρχοντικών, το γλαυκό της πεντακάθαρης απέραντης θάλασσας που απλώνεται γύρω µας, και τον γαλήνιο ουρανό του Αυγούστου µε την πανσέληνο του. Σας προσκαλώ να έρθετε και να γνωρίσετε από κοντά τον τόπο µας. Να γευτείτε τις οµορφιές του, την ιστορία του, το παραδοσιακό φαγητό του, το κρασί και την τσικουδιά του... Να αισθανθείτε τη φιλοξενία που θα σας δοθεί χωρίς ανταλλάγµατα. Καλώς ορίσατε στον Δήµο Αρκαδίου, στον τόπο µας... και να ‘στε σίγουροι πως θα τον αγαπήσετε σαν το σπίτι σας! ΜΑΝΩΛΑΚΑΚΗΣ ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛ ΔΗΜΑΡΧΟΣ ΑΡΚΑΔΙΟΥ πάρχουν στιγµές που γυρίζω το νου µου στο παρελθόν και αναπολώ τα περασµένα, τα όµορφα περασµένα… Τις καντάδες στα καλντερίµια για τις όµορφες κοπέλες… τα πανηγύρια να γιορτάζουν την χάρη των Αγίων µας… τις βεγγέρες τα καλοκαιριάτικα Υβράδια στις γειτονιές παρέα µε τα αστέρια…Βέβαια όλα αυτά δεν απέχουν πολύ µε το σήµερα αφού ακόµα και τώρα τα συναντάς κάθε στιγµή, κάθε λεπτό, κάνοντας µια βόλτα στα όµορφα χωριά µας, περπατώντας στα πλακόστρωτα σοκάκια, χαζεύοντας τους κήπους µε τα τριαντάφυλλα, τα γιασεµιά και τα αγιοκλήµατα πληµµυρισµένα από ευωδιές και ευχές.

It’s only a “stone throw” away from Rethymno. Our problems are the already known bad signs together with the “incompe- tence” to read and understand the signs in time while driving through the turbulent city of Rethymno. Therefore, as already several times before, we take the wrong branch und find ourselves short time after in a village named Anogeia (B at the map – see right). So, stop the car at the roadside, unpack the map and search. No drama – “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” – also this route is leading towards Myli (see map). Coming from Roussospiti, short before Myli, we see a relatively new and large sign at the intersection (no [bullet]holes, no dents and the colour seams to be fresh and new) pointing to a Military Museum in Chro- monastiri.

Haggis) The Early Iron Age (c. 1200-700 B.C.) on Crete is a period of transition, comprising the years after the final collapse of the palatial system in Late Minoan IIIB up to the development of the polis, or city-state, by or during the Archaic period. Over the course of this period, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns, settlement forms, ritual contexts, and most strikingly, in burial practices. Early Iron Age burial practices varied extensively throughout the island, not only from region to region, but also often at a single site; for example, at least 12 distinct tomb types existed on Crete during this time, and both inhumation and cremation were used, as well as single and multiple burial.
