Crete

Photographs of places in Crete, Greece

I love animals and flowers, archeology, history, art, the Cretan culture, its music and food.   This reflects in my photographs.

This island of Greece is my most favorite: its culture, food and music, and the roughness of the mountains.

To work with the photo gallery:
– slide or click on the rightor left side of the image to go for- or backwards;
– the navigation bar is on the top right side.

Crete is divided in four districts: Lassithi, Heraklion, Rethminon and Chania.
For convenience I split the district Lassithi in East, Center and West.
Further Lassithi-East in north and south and district Heraklion in east and west.
