Today We Remember ANZACs in Crete
Today we think about the Australian and New Zealand troops and the Cretan people who became like brothers during difficult times.
Today we remember.
Today we think about people like Geoff Edwards who escaped with the help of the monks at Preveli Monastery onto ships off the south coast of Crete during the Battle of Crete of World War II.
This monument was created by the Monastery as a collaboration after many years of work by many people including Geoff Edwards and Tom Dunbabin.
This monument stands on Monastery grounds, in southern Rethymnon, the aspect looking out from the southern coast of Crete - it is named the 'International Memorial for Resistance and Peace'.
The display features two sculptures of figures, the Abbot of the Preveli Monastery on 1941, Agathangelos Lagouvardos, and a figure of an allied soldier representing the Allied forces of Australia, New Zealand and Britain.
To learn more about the monument and the Monastery of Preveli, Crete, see the link below.
Today we remember the bonds that keep the Aussies and Kiwis and the Cretan people friends.

Makrygialos Beach in the East of Crete
Seven Eastern Crete Beaches
Lasithi Greece has long held a fascination for me. This summer I decided to spend a week in Lasithi, the easternmost area of Crete. Although Lasithi beaches are not so popular as beaches of west and south Crete, I found them really stunning; the unique Vai beach with its luscious palm forest, Istro with its picturesque surroundings, the beach of Elounda overlooking Spinalonga Island and the exotic Chrissi or Golden Beach.

Creative Art Project in Crete
Kalimera! My name is Dalius Regelskis and I’m an architect, artist and lecturer of Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania.
I just thought, it would be a good idea to share with you my artwork of Cretan doors, inspired by the amazing beauty of the old towns and villages of Chania and Rethymnon regions:
www.daliusart.com
10 years ago my wife and I visited Crete for the first time and we both fell in love with this wonderful Greek island. Each year we used to visit different places of Crete, while we found Rethymno and realised that this town is definitely our favorite one!
