Crete

The stunning delicacy and labyrinthine nature of the Minoan palaces, fortifications and aqueducts, the fortresses, temples, works of art and customs, all bear witness to Crete's turbulent history. A place endowed by nature and blessed by the gods, which is full of contrasts and with a surprise in store at every turn. Crete is so close yet so far away. It is our paradox and hidden desires. Excess and human weakness.
