3000 BC. The Egyptians where trading all their goods sailing along the Nile river. The main commerce activities at that time where taking place along the banks of the river.When they were coming close to the Delta of the Nile where the river wasmeeting the Mediterranean they were staring at the big sea and never attemptedto sail through. They were calling it the "Big Blue". By that time the Cretans were sailing all over the Mediterranean Sea trading goods all over the place. They were also doing the commercefor the Egyptians who never tried to explore the "Big Blue". The "Big Blue"is all our hopes, all our dreams, all the things in life that we shouldn'tmiss. It might be hard to explore all the Med Sea but we are sure thatvisiting the island of Crete is a chance that you shouldn't ignore. Full of tropical beaches, traditional villages, everyone with a different history, a hugevariety of gorgeous landscapes, remains from ancient civilizations, you'vegot people here writing history for the last five thousand years. N. Kazantzakiswas inspired and wrote his famous book " Zorba the Greek" in Crete. Crete is the onefor those who want it all. |
