People in Crete are occupied with agriculture,
they process the stone and the first time they use the potter to
create pots.
A lot of tourists visit Crete and enjoy the
deep blue sea, the beautiful beaches, the archeological places.
There are a lot of hotels, studios,
rooms, appartments at these islands,
as well as many restaurants with greek traditional
food and clubs, cafe, bars
with great parties for unique nightlife.
Dotted in all over the island, they basically live in cages such
as Zarko and Agia fotia and eastern Crete in Amniso to the mountains
of Lasithio in central Crete and in Gaudo in western Crete. In parallel,
the inhabitants start to build settlements where there have been
discovered old cities in the deep stratums of Knoso and Faisto and
isolated houses in Katsampa of Hraklio and in Makasa of Siteia.
Around in 2600 b.c with the emigration of
people from Mikra Asia and perhaps from Libya, in the village starts
the famous Minoan civilization, which it is separated in 4 periods
based to the first structure, disaster, reconstruction and the final
destruction of the royal centers of the island.
The most important palaces have been discovered
in the central and eastern Crete (Knosos, Faistos, Malia and Zakros)
and to the western Crete the archeological research has started
lately to bring the ruins to the light of a valueless center in
Xania. Among these, Minoan ‘s palace has the first place in
Knoso where the name to the mythic king was given from Evans in
Minoan civilization.
The life in it has started in 1900 b.c in
the beginning of the old time royal period when an unknown reason
in all over the island, for example some royal families have assembled
in their hands the authority and they have started to build palaces.
Knoso’s palace has been built in a hill in 22000 s.m. Around
it, it was built Knoso’s city where we can recognize her importance
from her two ports.
