Crete tourist guide

Contemporary house made of ancient stone

While visiting villages in Crete or exploring hiking trails, we often came across all sorts of old, historic buildings that were built in an "economic" way using what the inhabitants of that time found on the site. In their walls, it happened to see various types of bricks, pieces of worked stone or even parts of columns or other ancient ornaments. Of course, all of this happened a long time ago, when the ancient ruins were not seen as monuments in need of special protection. Today, the excavation sites are subject to such protection and are treated as a source of knowledge about the life of ancient inhabitants, and not as a place from which building materials can be obtained at a low cost.

Knowing that ancient ruins are a special place is obvious in Greece. Penalties for violating them can be draconian and very severe. The local news portals were all the more surprised that one of the residents of the Sitia commune had committed such an act. Thanks to the actions of the police, it was possible to confirm the information that the 56-year-old man used stones obtained from the archaeological site of the ancient Βερνεγάδι to build his new home. The man was arrested and the stones and the car in which they were transported were confiscated.
