About this listen
The Yesterdays of Crete, is designed to be an easy listen snapshot of this beautiful and now highly popular tourist island.
The history of human occupation in Crete spans back for more than 130,000 years and at a time it was the prime source of Greek mythology through the periods of King Minos, the Minotaur and the Labyrinth. The island has been occupied by the Mycenaean's, Romans, Venetians, Ottomans and Nazi Germany to mention but a few.
Cretan artists were revered as the finest painters of religious icons in Europe and the author Homer, described Crete as an island with the finest cities and highest level of culture he had ever known.
The Cretan people have been witness to the best and the worst of governance and through it all, and at every stage, they have risen above the adversity to show what an amazing and resourceful race they truly are.
