THE HISTORY KEYHOLDER

Faithful to the local craftmanship and culture, the writer of “Handcrafted Crete” (Region of Crete Editions), Isabella Zampetaki, pays homage to the blessed land of Crete Island and its warm-hearted people. As she reveals, “the most dynamic addition to the city’s cultural scene is the excellent new Archaeological Museum” and her favorite place is “the ancient theater of Aptera, a few kilometers outside the city of Chania. It is a beautiful place whose grandstands embrace the mountain of Lefka Ori, making you feel powerful and free”. However, she will never disclose the little surprise that awaits visitors there. You will have to find out yourselves, as you will do at the Municipal Gallery, where John Craxton’s life is unfolded through the exhibition “A Greek Soul” (from October).

Imagine the mythical Nymphs casting their spell on you at the breathtaking Cape Drastis.
