Crete | Chania Historical Archives Museum
Crete | Chania Historical Archives Museum. Crete is not only known for its ancient and mediaeval history. There's a good deal of more modern history on view, as well, and the Historical Archives Museum in Chania is one place where some of it can be viewed.
Crete was joined to Greece only about a hundred years ago, in 1913. But since the early 19th century there had been constant agitation for independence from Ottoman Turkish rule.
There's a lot of documentation from that period, especially in the first decade of the 20th century when this agitation came to a head.
The museum is housed in an unobtrusive but elegant neoclassical mansion. Admittedly, it's scholars and historians who will be most interested in the contents. But the ordinary tourist, too, can get a lot out of it by simply imagining you're back in a gentler age -- before tourism.
The Museum is open weekdays from 9 am to 1 pm and is closed on weekends.

Crete | The Museum of Nikos Kazantzakis in Heraklion Region
Crete | The Museum of Nikos Kazantzakis in Heraklion Region. Nikos Kazantzakis was a leading novelist of 20th century Greece. And if that doesn't ring a bell, he's the one who wrote the original 'Zorba the Greek,' which was turned into a successful film and started the syrtaki dance craze in the 1960s.
Kazantzakis was a Cretan, which means he has his own museum about 20 kilometres south of Heraklion. You can drive or take a bus from the city, and you'll be there in about half an hour. Follow the brown sign to the museum.

Crete | The Architecture Of Crete
Crete has a warm climate, and the island's architecture reflects that. You're going to see a lot of what looks like mediaeval architecture around, and that's exactly what it is. Most of the distinctive buildings went up in Crete under the Venetian rule in the 16th and 17th centuries, and you might be forgiven for thinking you're in Venice or some other port in Italy.
Castle enthusiasts will also enjoy Crete, which has several outstanding examples of massive fortifications, especially in Heraklion and Rethymno. There is also a strong Ottoman Turkish tradition, which you can see in the few mosques and monuments preserved in Heraklion.
It's a good idea to walk around the castles, to get an impression of their sheer strength and size, and to imagine the ferocious battles between the Venetians and the Turks over these very ramparts.

There are also some more recent 19th mansions in and around Heraklion and Chania. These have shady courtyards peculiar to Crete. Some have been converted into smart cafes or restaurants, where you can directly experience the leisurely life of past times. So once we're refreshed, we can continue.

Σπήλαιο Αγίας Δύναμης - Αργυρούπολη Ρεθύμνου
Ο σπηλαιώδης ναός της Αγίας Δύναμης βρίσκεται στην Αργυρούπολη. Μέσα σε αυτόν υπάρχει η τεράστια πηγή της Άγιας Δύναμης από όπου υδρεύεται σχεδόν όλο το Ρέθυμνο. Εντός του ναού υπήρχε ένα εντυπωσιακό ψηφιδωτό του Χριστού, το οποίο έχει αντικατασταθεί με μία απλή εικόνα και έχει μεταφερθεί στο μουσείο του Ρεθύμνου.
Αν βγάλετε τα παπούτσια σας και κρατάτε φακό, μπορείτε να περπατήσετε μέσα στη σπηλιά, μέσα από το υπόγειο ποτάμι της πηγής.
