  • Return to Crete
    CRETE RE-VISITED 2012 ANDREW AND BRIAN RETURN AT LAST! Well after 4 years we finally made the decision to have a holiday back on our wonderful dream Island. Was it all that we had hoped for? OH YES! Flying Easy Jet from Gatwick (and they were brilliant) we were met at Chania by Natasha. Familiar roads and corners. Terrible Greek driving, Traffic Lights that are phased wrongly. Confusion at Souda. Yes we were back. Nothing had changed, apart, that is, from the number of shops that were boarded up. Now that was a shock! We had heard and seen the problems Greece was going through but reality is another thing. Chania, as we found out later in the week, is prosperous and full of life. We both remembered Cretans saying they were “self sufficient:” and Tourism was the icing on the cake” Well it seems to be true, we both really hope it is. Crete is so very different from the rest of Greece and long may it stay so. Anyway………………………… Our first day was spent on our favourite beach in Georgiopoli. Peace and tranquillity and a very enticing sea. The owner recognised us as did the Taverna Manager. It was as though time had stood still. We hired a car at an incredible rate for the whole week and that night went to Almyrida for a meal, again in one of our favourites Eroticrito. Having met up with Clare, a life long friend from our Canal days, we had a really great evening. It was amazing that so many locals came over to speak, many thinking we were both back for good.

  • The Gulf of Messara Underwater Survey NEH Collaborat
    Maritime Landscapes of Southern Crete from the Paleolithic to Modern Times: The Gulf of Messara Underwater Survey NEH Collaborative Research Grant Proposal November 2017 Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World Institute of Nautical Archaeology Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities Karl Krusell Brown University STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT Maritime Landscapes of Southern Crete from the Paleolithic to Modern Times: The Gulf of Messara Underwater Survey This proposal seeks to gain funding for a major three-year collaborative research project aimed at characterizing the maritime landscapes of southern Crete from the island’s earliest human presence to the expulsion of the Ottomans at the very end of the 19th century CE. The maritime significance of Crete was already established in Greek oral tradition by the time the Iliad and Odyssey were first written down sometime in the 8th century BCE. Clues about the island’s seafaring history derived from such sources as Bronze Age wall paintings and New Testament scripture have provided the basis for much scholarly speculation, but ultimately leave many questions about the long-term development of maritime culture on the island unanswered. A recent debate among Mediterranean archaeologists was prompted by the discovery of lithic artifacts in southern Crete dated to the Paleolithic, which have the potential to push back the earliest human presence on Crete, as well as the earliest demonstrable hominin sea-crossings in the Mediterranean, to around 130,000 years ago. The project team will conduct an underwater survey of the Gulf of Messara, collecting data through both diver reconnaissance and remote sensing in order to ascertain the long-term history of social complexity, resource exploitation, and island connectivity.

    Holy Communion for The Season of Easter The Anglican Church of St Thomas, Kefalas The Church of England | Diocese in Europe Website: http://www.theanglicanchurchincrete.co.uk Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/StThomas-Anglican-Church- Kefalas-Crete-Greece-351855875016402/ Mailing Address: Box 421 Gavalohori, 73008 Apokoronas, Crete, Greece Welcome! Welcome in the name of the Risen Christ to the Anglican Church of St Thomas the Apostle, in the village of Kefalas, on the island of Crete. We are a congregation or “chaplaincy” of the Diocese in Europe, a part of the Church of England, one of several in Greece. Through our bishops we are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, a network of some forty autonomous churches around the world. In this congregation we are a gathering of many nationalities – mostly British, Canadian, American, and Irish, but we are also from across Europe and beyond. We normally celebrate The Lord’s Supper, which is also known as Holy Communion, Holy Eucharist, the Mass, the Breaking of the Bread, and the Holy Liturgy. In it we read scripture and reflect on it, bring our concerns to God in prayer, and celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus just as he commanded his disciples in the Last Supper. The Church of England practices an open table. All who are baptised and take communion in their home church are welcome to receive at this, the Lord’s Table. We offer both the consecrated bread and wine. One may take both, or one or the other. We respectfully ask that you do not intinct (dip) the bread in the wine, as it has been determined that this is not the most hygienic.

  • Viticulture: Table Wine and Grape Varieties
    New Agriculture for a New Generation: Recharging Greek Youth to Revitalize the Agriculture and Food Sector of the Greek Economy Viticulture, Table & Wine Grapes Varieties Coordinator: Dr. Christos Vasilikiotis, Assistant Professor Project Leader: Konstantinos Zoukidis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Team members: Dr. Eleni Topalidou, Lecturer & Researcher Michalis Genitsariotis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Dr. Ilias Kalfas, Researcher Executive summary Greece is experiencing the consequences of the hardest financial crisis of its history. The economic crisis in Greece, have a great impact on unemployment and as a result companies are out of business and many people especially young ones are unemployed. In addition, economic crisis, from one hand leads more and more people, special young people with many skills to leave from Greece to other countries and from the other hand, turns young unemployed people to the agricultural sector. The current project’s aim is to determine the potential of viticulture, table and grape varieties in Greece could be an answer for recharging youth and if this sector could improve the national economy and reverse this negative trend. Grape cultivation and wine making have a distinguished place in the history of Western civilization. The ancient Greeks gave an importance to wine, which greatly exceeded its role as a beverage. The production of wine and table grape has been an important part of Greek culture for many centuries. Nowadays Greece holds the 13th place on vineyard surface area. It is one of the first table grape producing (4th) countries in Europe, first producer of currants (Black Corinth) of the world production and eighth exported country in dried grapes worldwide.
