Snow Way! Crete is Europe's Most Surprising Skiing Destination

“Crete Arising” is a documentary about ski mountaineering in Crete and the Pierra Creta Race held on the island’s tallest mountain, Psiloritis. The director-producer, Greek-American Constantine Papanicolaou, uses the island’s history as a narrative thread in order to show how revolutions in Crete have always started in the mountains, and that the same is about to happen again.

This time, however, it’s a revolution in tourism; Cretans are ready to pick up their ski poles and their skis and show the world that there’s still an unspoiled Crete – far from the tour operators and the all-inclusive seaside resorts – in the heart of the island where shepherds still keep their flocks and make cheese, and where farmers grow fruit and vegetables to supply Greece and the rest of the world.

The trailblazers of this “tourism revolution” are a group of mountaineers who’ve been organizing Europe’s southernmost ski mountaineering event, Pierra Creta, for the last five years.

“It’s barely 30 years since the first Cretans, a small community of young people – guided by two or three pioneers of the previous generation – looked at the mountains from the point of view of mountaineering, and took up winter hiking, climbing and skiing,” Nikiforos Steiakakis, one of the event’s organizers, says.

New dimension to the cult at Zominthos

This year’s excavation work increased the overall excavated surface by 100 m2 and revealed more interesting architectural elements.

Good description of what the benefits of long term archaeology can produce in terms of information about a site and its history.

✌⁣ #Rethymno is a wild beauty. Endless ribbons of mountain roads wind through the #timeless interior, passing fields of wildflowers and tiny, traditional hamlets cradled by olive groves. It’s a region peppered with historic sites and natural wonders. Descend into the spooky darkness of grotto-like caves; explore steep, lush gorges; and rest in the shade of lofty Mt #Psiloritis, Crete’s highest peak. Visit enduring monasteries, Minoan tombs and Venetian strongholds. Rethymno is also a magnet for artists, many practicing age-old trades with modern twists.⁣ ▫⁣ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @manoleas⁣ ⁣▫⁣ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣ ▫⁣ #BALKANWONDERS #greece #Ελλάδα #greecewonders #ギリシャ #그리스 #希腊 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/balkan.wonders/p/BxHyorqF-35/?igshid=1n6wcftgc5lrt
