When Knights Roamed Crete: A Tale of Myths and Legends
The Venetian occupation has left enduring imprints on Crete.
Castles adorned with battlements, towers, and formidable walls—some in ruins, others standing imposingly, resilient against the passage of centuries.
A visit is awe-inspiring. There were no princesses and romantic tales; battles were waged, and blood was shed.
However, the element of fairy tale, or more precisely, myth and legend, is not absent.
Perhaps, upon your return from the journey, you'll have something magical to recount to someone dear.
