Cappuccino coast in Crete

An unusual phenomenon called the "cappuccino coast" appeared today on the beaches of southern Crete. Among other things, the beaches in Matala and Kommos were covered with characteristic foam resembling that produced when preparing cappuccino coffee. Moreover, the name of this drink was the source of a concise description of this peculiar phenomenon.

World Olive Tree Day

Today, November 26, is World Olive Day. This plant is a permanent element of the Cretan landscape, and olive groves can be found almost all over the island. It is typical for Crete that in addition to young and middle-aged trees, you can also find many trees whose age is estimated at several thousand years. Interestingly, despite their old age, most of them still bear fruit.

Rockslide after a downpour

Today's heavy downpour, which occurred in the central part of southern Crete, caused a rockslide. Stones fell on the road between Agios Kyrillos and Geros Kampos towards Lendas in the Gortyna commune. The force of the falling boulders was so great that even securing the steep slope with a metal mesh did not help. Rock fragments escaped the net and onto the road, making traffic on this section difficult. After this incident, it will be necessary to repair the safety net to reduce the risk of a similar incident in the future.

Spinalonga - electrification works begin

This is truly electrifying news…. Mayor Agios Nikoloas today announced the imminent start of work on the electrification of Spinalonga. To connect the island to the general electricity grid, an underwater cable is to be laid between Spinalonga and Plaka. Preliminary preparations and work are scheduled to start this week. The work schedule assumes that the cable installation is to be completed by the end of January 2024.

The symbolic beginning of winter in Crete

Just recently, we wrote about the 30-degree heat that prevailed in Crete at the end of October. Today, for a change, a slight dusting of snow on the highest peak of Crete - Psiloritis - was hailed as the symbolic beginning of winter. The amount of snow is small for now and, of course, it only occurs in the highest parts of the massif, which at its highest point is 2,456 m above sea level. In the lower regions of the island, there is no sign of winter yet, and the temperatures are very pleasant and exceed 20 degrees during the day. For the island's inhabitants, white Psiloritis is also a signal that it's time to start the countdown to Christmas.

Eleftherias Square in Heraklion to be renovated

Eleftherias Square is one of the most characteristic places in Heraklion. Located on the outskirts of the old town and in close proximity to the Archaeological Museum, it is an excellent point from which to start exploring the capital of Crete. Unfortunately, the square has not been modernized in any way for over 25 years, i.e. since the last renovation, and its current condition must be considered, to put it mildly, highly questionable. However, it seems that in the coming years this place will completely change its image. All because of the renovation that is just starting.

Baklava day

Baklava is one of the most famous and sweetest desserts, known not only in Greece, but also in Turkey, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries. If you have been on holiday in these countries, you have probably had the opportunity to try it. Baklava is so popular that a holiday was even established, which we celebrate today, November 17. This calorie bomb is made of filo dough, a mixture of nuts and sweet honey-based syrup. If you are not afraid of culinary challenges, you can try to prepare this sweet delicacy at home. You can find the recipe by clicking this link.

Serio?
Uwielbiam oliwki i oliwę z nich
Kreta z Sołtysową: Wczoraj w Falasarna
Bardzo ładnie
Patrząc okiem turysty nie podoba mi się ten plan.To miejsce historyczne i w takim klimacie powinno zostać. Napewno są powody dla których prąd jest tam potrzebny .Nie wyobrażam sobie jednak ,,podświetlonej,,Spinalongi tak jak Akropol w Atenach.
Ładnie to wygląda
Włączajcie ogrzewanie?
Det ved vi godt
To że nie otworzą w ciągu 2 lat było oczywiste, ale to że odkopano archeolo dopiero przedłuży remont Agory. Poczekamy
A nie mówiłam
Opiszę Wam jak to wygląda w mojej wiosce(zachodnia część Krety). Groby rodzinne są wykupione na własność(nie płacimy rocznego,,czynszu"). Kości w skrzyneczkach pozostają w grobie. Na Krecie pochówek jest inny niż w pozostałej części Grecji, groby są obudowane, mają cementowe ściany, na dnie jest ziemia. Trumna w grobie nie jest przykrywana wiekiem, bo nie jest zasypywana ziemią, tylko zakryta betonowymi płytami.
Pięknie tam

Czyli zmiany klimatu to nie jakaś fikcja, tylko smutna rzeczywistość
Fajnie jest korzystać tak długo z pogody. Sezon się wydłuża. No ale podstawą do życia czyli woda znika w coraz szybszym tempie. Co nas czeka za 10-20 lat?
Ale kraść nie ładnie. Nieraz jedyne utrzymanie ludzi, którzy ją produkują
Przywiozłem jak zawsze. Najlepsza
Z moich rozmów z producentami wynika (a współpracuje z ponad 30 z Grecji) najbardziej podrożeje ( i podrożała ) oliwa kulinarna od dużych masowych producentów. Mniejsi , mający swoje własne plantacje i produkujący wyłącznie oliwę "single estate" klasy premium pod swoją marką nie zwiększają drastycznie cen. (...)
Tak, ceny poszybowały w górę. To są ceny, które obecnie dostaje rolnik za oliwę z zeszłorocznych zbiorów, bo na nowe zbiory jeszcze trochę poczekamy. Pamiętajcie, że rolnik jest najniższym szczeblem w tej drabinie zanim oliwa trafia w wasze ręce.
