MINOA - a Minoan ship reconstruction in Chania, Crete, Greece - ΧΑΝΙΑ ΚΡΗΤΗ
Minoa is a scientific reconstruction of an ancient Minoan vessel from around 1500 BC. Ships like these sailed in the Aegean Sea at the peak of the Minoan period, connecting the Greek islands and the mainland in the Bronze age. The hull is neither carvel nor lapstrake, but a special shell-first construction that used ropes to pull the strakes together. Read more on the website of the Maritime Museum of Crete in Chania (Ναυτικό Μουσείο Κρήτης):
The rig is a square sail with a special net of thin ropes that hangs in front of the sail fabric to ease the strain on the fabric. Similar cross patterns can also be observed on 2000 years younger rune stones from Sweden, depicting Viking ships. There is no doubt that the Vikings replicated rigs that for long had been in use in the Mediterranean Sea. To read more about the Viking ships see my site
Rekonstruksjon av et Minoisk fartøy fra rundt 1500 år f.Kr. Slike skip bandt sammen de greske øyene og var forløpere til de suksessrike fønikiske handelsskipene. Riggen er et enkelt råseil med taunett foran seilduken. Skipet er utstilt i Chania by på Kreta.

Chania Cave Exploration Project
The most importantly findings of the cave was the identification of palaeontological material. An initial study showed that it consists mostly of bones of elephants and a very small percentage of deer bones (Cervidae). These findings were new for Crete and a unique find from a submarine cave. The Elephas Chaniensis was three feet high and, although it had significant differences from the African and Indian elephant, it had thicker bones and huskier body. The age of the bones is estimated at 50,000-60,000 years.

Road of Crete - 2016 - Souda (Chania) - Seitan Limania ( Stefanou ) beach
Seitan Limania (i.e Satan harbours) or Stephanou beach is located 20 km north east of Chania town, at the east side of cape Akrotiri, near the airport of Chania.
How to reach Seitan Limania
Seitan Limania is accessible only by rented cars and motorbikes.
Follow the road towards the airport of Chania.
Turn left right before the airport towards the village of Chordaki (Hordaki) and then follow the signs to Rizoskloko.
From then on, you will see numerous signs pointing the way to the beach.
The asphalt road descends abruptly, ending at a parking area.
Then a steep but OK-to-walk path starts from there and within 15 minutes it ends at this little paradise.

I am pleased to present the game about Crete, that my team and I created.
The Phaistos disc is one of the most interesting mysteries of history. This sensational artifact was discovered during excavations on the island of Crete in Greece more than 100 years ago.
In this hidden objects game, you will go on a trip full of surprises around the island of Crete to prevent a catastrophe after a failed experiment.
The island has incredible adventures in store for you and, along with the characters of the game, you will finally learn the secret of the Phaistos disc.
The game is TRULY FREE, the whole adventure is open to you without any additional purchases.
The game is available on iPhone/iPad.

The Cave of Rigologos Mystery in Kolymbari.
A man stumbles upon a cave behind a Greek Monastery on the island of Crete.Once inside he discovers a face in the stone called a Mimetolith. Is it the face of Makarious? Currently I think it Must really be the Face of Janus, because you can see another to the left of the one I point out.

Road of Crete - 2016 (Kolymvari - Elos - Elafonissi - Kedrodasos )
Kedrodasos (i.e. cedar forest) is an amazing beach, located 76km southwest of Chania and 1km east of the famous Elafonissi lagoon.
The access to Kedrodasos beach is a bit complicated. About 500 meters before you reach Elafonisi, there is a small road on your left. It is a paved road for the first 5 m. and continues dirty. Take the first turn on the left (you will see greenhouses on the right) and the next left again. After a stone wall on the left, continue straight and turn right. Finally, turn left again and you will see a car park in front. The distance of this point from the main road is 2.5 km. The beach is visible from this point.
The gorge of Topolia is located at West Crete and it runs along the road leading to Elafonissi. The canyon actually starts near the village Strovles at an altitude of 450m, and exits near the village Topolia, at an altitude of 150m.

Leaving Kolymbari and heading for home
After a nice chilled out one night stay its back home to do a show with the band.
Road of Crete - 2016 - Plakias - Kotsifou Canyon- Chania
Plakias is surrounded by mountains to the north and the Libyan Sea to the south. The name in Greek means flat but the approach and coastline are quite mountainous and dramatic.
Small hotels and many beachfront restaurants & cafes. The large crescent bay of sandy beach and the harbor provide a varied and yet not too busy destination.
