Crete

Parametri

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

What varied images, how many different associations this blunt word evokes in many people. For some, Crete is the homeland of an ancient civilisation, the Minoans, and thus a place of archaeological sites and museums with works of art. Crete is an island of sunshine and beaches, and thus a place for escaping history, past and present. Crete is a land of rugged mountains and trails and caves, a natural preserve to walk about and explore. There is the Crete of medieval Christian chapels, for instance, with fine old Byzantine frescoes and icons. There is a Crete rich in dances and music and folklore and traditional festivities.
