  • Heraklion (Greece)
    Research in the communities – mapping potential cultural heritage sites with potential for adaptive re-use – Heraklion (Greece) The island of Crete in general and the city of Heraklion has an enormous cultural heritage. The Arab traders from al-Andalus (Iberia) who founded the Emirate of Crete moved the island's capital from Gortyna to a new castle they called rabḍ al-ḫandaq in the 820s. This was Hellenized as Χάνδαξ (Chándax) or Χάνδακας (Chándakas) and Latinized as Candia, the Ottoman name was Kandiye. The ancient name Ηράκλειον was revived in the 19th century and comes from the nearby Roman port of Heracleum ("Heracles's city"), whose exact location is unknown. English usage formerly preferred the classicizing transliterations "Heraklion" or "Heraclion", but the form "Iraklion" is becoming more common. Knossos is located within the Municipality of Heraklion and has been called as Europe's oldest city. Heraklion is close to the ruins of the palace of Knossos, which in Minoan times was the largest centre of population on Crete. Knossos had a port at the site of Heraklion from the beginning of Early Minoan period (3500 to 2100 BC). Between 1600 and 1525 BC, the port was destroyed by a volcanic tsunami from nearby Santorini, leveling the region and covering it with ash. The present city of Heraklion was founded in 824 by the Arabs under Abu Hafs Umar. They built a moat around the city for protection, and named the city rabḍ al-ḫandaq, "Castle of the Moat", Hellenized as Χάνδαξ, Chandax). It became the capital of the Emirate of Crete (ca.

  • Cultural Sightseeing
    SIGHTSEEING IN CRETA A QUICK GUIDE TO INTERESTING PLACES WORTH VISIT SUMMER 2020 KNOSSOS The archaeological site of Knossos (Knosós GR: Κνωσός) is sited 5 km southeast of the city of Iraklion. There is evidence that this location was inhabited during the neolithic times (6000 B.C.). On the ruins of the neolithic settlement was built the first Minoan palace (1900 B.C.) where the dynasty of Minos ruled. This was destroyed in 1700 B.C and a new palace built in its place. The palace covered an area of 22,000sq.m, it was multi- storeyed and had an intricate plan. Due to this fact the Palace is connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth with the Minotaur. Between 1.700-1.450 BC, the Minoan civilization was at its peak and Knossos was the most important city-state. During these years the city was destroyed twice by earthquakes (1.600 BC, 1.450 BC) and rebuilt. The city of Knossos had 100.000 citizens and it continued to be an important city-state until the early Byzantine period. Knossos gave birth to famous men like Hersifron and his son Metagenis, whose creation was the temple of Artemis in Efesos, the Artemisio, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. THE MINOAN PALACE AND CITY OF MALIA The Minoan Palace and the archaeological site of Malia are located 3 km East of the town of Malia. From the architectural point of view the Palace of Malia, is the third- largest of the Minoan Palaces and is considered the most "provincial" of them.

  • CAPTIVATING CRETE Ferry Hopping 5 Gorgeous Islands
    CAPTIVATING CRETE Ferry hopping 5 gorgeous islands April 18-25, 2021 Sept 26 – Oct 3, 2021 Tour destinations: Hania, Georgioupoli, Rethymno, Herakleion DESCRIPTION Biking guided tour to Minoan ruins, a highlight of the Captivating Crete tour. At Knossos you will learn from the professional guide that the peaceful Minoan empire was the first civilization on European soil and King Minos’ chair was replicated for the chief judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Throughout the tour you encounter Minoan ruins left and right. This tour is for cyclists accustomed to climbing ascents ranging from 1500-2500 foot (450-760 meters). Captivating Crete has flat sections hugging the sea coast, hilly sections near the sea and mountains in the rural interior where passing vehicles are less frequent. Average daily mileage is 50 km / day. The most endearing part of the tour is your immersion into the local culture. In a Greek language class you learn to greet the locals, “Kali Mera!” There is a cooking class where you learn to prepare healthy Cretan cuisine. Tasting raki, Crete’s national spirit akin to Italy’s grappa, is unavoidable. Indeed, it is rude to turn down the first and second offerings. Consider the Libyan Sea Coast Hiking add-on for a pre-tour hiking in the Samaria Gorge and along the car-free Libyan Sea coast with some villages accessible only by foot or sea. Before departing for Crete, take an opportunity to get used to your bicycle by booking one or more warm-up rides in the Attica region surrounding Athens.

  • A Survey of the Western Mesara Plain in Crete 195
    A SURVEYOF THE WESTERNMESARA PLAIN IN CRETE: PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE 1984, 1986, AND 1987 FIELD SEASONS (PLATES44-55) ]H[HIS ARTICLE is a preliminary report of the regional archaeological survey project focused on the Western Mesara Plain (the modern eparchies of Pyrgio- tissa and Kainourgio) in southern Crete (Fig. 1; P1.44) during 1984, 1986, and 1987.1 A Greek-American synergasia, the project included archaeologists, geologists, botanists, historians, and ethnographers who each season documented (1) a com- plete history of settlement in the region; (2) the interaction of the local inhabitants with the environment through time; and, ultimately, (3) how these factors affected the establishment and subsequent development of a complex society in the region. Two archaeological teams intensively surveyed 22 square kilometers immediately around Phaistos (Fig. 7). In this paper we discuss the research background and methods of the project; the character and extent of the Western Mesara region; its geology, geomorphology, and changing coastal configuration; the modern veg- etation; the history of settlement from the Neolithic period through the present day; Byzantine through Ottoman historical sources and monuments; and aspects of traditional life in the region. lThis project was supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (grant #150-2843A), the Institute for Aegean Prehistory, the National Geographic Society (grants 2659-83, 2833-84, 3108/9-85, and 3529/30-87), and generous contributions from Mrs. Mary Chambers and Dr. and Mrs. Harod Conlon. Work took place under a synergasiapermit from the Greek Ministry of Culture to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1984, 1986, and 1987.
