  • Bonelli's Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete
    Crete April 2016 Bonelli’s Eagle and Bull Jumpers: Nature and Culture of Crete April 9 - 19, 2016 With Elissa Landre Photo of Chukar by Elissa Landre With a temperate climate, Crete is more pristine than the mainland Greece and has a culture all its own. Crete was once the center of the Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), regarded as the earliest recorded civilization in Europe. In addition to birding, we will explore several famous archeological sites, including Knossos and ancient Phaistos, the most important centers of Minoan times. Crete’s landscape is very special: defined by high mountain ranges, deep valleys, fertile plateaus, and caves (including the mythological birthplace of the ancient Greek god, Zeus) Rivers have cut deep, exceptionally beautiful gorges that create a rich presence of geological wealth and have been explored for their aromatic and medicinal plants since Minoan times. Populations of choughs, Griffon Vultures, Lammergeiers, and swifts nest on the steep cliffs. A fantastic variety of birds and plants are found on Crete: not only its resident bird species, which are numerous and include rare and endangered birds, but also the migrants who stop over on Crete during their journeys to and from Africa and Europe. The isolation of Crete from mainland Europe, Asia, and Africa is reflected in the diversity of habitats, flora, and avifauna. The richness of the surroundings results in an impressive bird species list and often unexpected surprises. For example, last year a Blue- cheeked Bee-eater, usually only seen in northern Africa and the Middle East, was spotted. Join us for this unusual and very special trip.

  • Crete Restaurant Guide
    MEETand EAT inCRETE FINE DINING GUIDE 2008 SUMMER FREE from LETTER the EDITOR THERE'S MORE TO CRETAN CUISINE THAN LUKE-WARM MOUSSAKA… I've long held the belief that quite often food is the point of entry into the core of a country's culture, and for many, a country's cuisine is the primary reason for visiting a destination. Eating what and where the locals eat is a great way to scratch below the surface of a country, to understand its history and to become a part of its community. A summertime visit to a Greek Island offers many opportunities unique to this time of year. This is when home-grown produce is at its peak-bursting with color and flavor. And you will find no better location to indulge in this foodfest than Crete. Always celebrated as a tourist destination for beaches and antiquities, the Island, a treasure trove of wild foods and deeply rooted cooking traditions, is becoming a foodie hotspot, which could rival many of the European capitals in the gourmet game. But finding a great meal here on the Mediterranean's 5th largest island is not an easy task, which is why Meet and Eat in Crete was created-to help you go out of the way and off the tourist track. New to the Guide this summer is a selection of some of our top chosen tavernas in and around the island. As an antidote to the ubiquitous beach scene, try one of our agrotourism tavernas in a breathtaking mountain village, such as Prinos in Ano Asites.

  • Nature Park of Sitia Is on the Easternmost Edge of Crete, in the Municipality of Sitia
    This publication was designed by the Natural History Museum of Crete for the Municipal- ity of Sitia, due to the implementation of the action 2.3.1 “Development of an Ecotouristic guide” of the project “Geotourism and local development (GEOTOPIA)”, funded 80% by the European Union and by 20% by national funds from Greece and Cyprus, through the Greece-Cyprus 2007 - 2013 cross-border cooperation programme. “GEOTOPIA” refers to the collaboration of two mountainous and insular areas, the Munici- pality of Sitia in Crete and the mountain Troodos in Cyprus, which are characterized by their wealthy natural, geological and cultural environment, by underdevelopment and depopu- lation of the hinterland, and by the depreciation of their landscape, aiming to promote their natural and cultural environment, to develop geotouristic activities and finally, establish a geopark.

Each villa is independent, ensuring full privacy with its own surrounding area, its own verandas, patios and greenery, its own private swimming pool and its own parking spaces. 4 2 1 2100.0 euros/week The villa has a magnificent view, looking out over the vast blue Sea of Crete, the beautiful islet of Mochlos with its Minoan ruins, the imposing "Kastelas" peak and other mountains, Mochlos and the nearby villages and the lovely farming landscape with its small plain, hills and foothills cloaked in silver- green olive trees. This is a magical, inspiring and peaceful spot. Mochlos is a picturesque seaside village in the heart of a fantastic natural landscape on the north coast of Crete, between Sitia and Agios Nikolaos. The islet of Mochlos was the site of one of the greatest harbours and naval centres of Minoan Crete. The greatest and brightest collection of Minoan gold jewellery and diadems was discovered here. Mochlos offers exceptional eating and recreational facilities. Picturesque taverns "lapped by the waves" offer authentic Cretan cooking, enjoy watersports and boat trips, go on nature walks with mountain guides, etc. 30 kilometres from Mochlos is the town of Ierapetra and 35 kilometres away are those of Sitia and Agios Nikolaos. All three towns have hospitals - health centres, urban services of all kinds, shops and amusement facilities. Villa Mileanna can be used as a base for excursions to nearby places, such as: Sitia - Toplou Monastery - Vai Palm Forest - Minoan Palace of Zakros; Agios Nikolaos - Elounda - Spinalonga Island; Ierapetra - Chryssi Island in the Libyan Sea; Lassithi Plateau - Dictean Cave (birthplace of Zeus); Minoan Palace of Malia.
