Discover Analipsi vilage in Hersonisos Crete

For the traditional heritage of our ancestors, the area of Analipsi has known a rapid tourist development. If one goes back to the past of this area, he finds out that it had nothing in common with the fabulous place extending before the visitor’s eyes.

Until the ‘80s, Analipsi was just fields and plains with a few, scattered houses kept by the inhabitants of Lassithi. It was then that tourist growth started in the area. Hotel complexes, new houses and apartments for rent made slowly their appearance, next to small cottage houses. This astonishing phenomenon of landscape transformation has continued during the ‘90s until today.

The greatest advantage of the area is its coastal zone, which is upgraded with the construction of the beach road leading to its breathtaking beaches; most of them have been awarded with the ‘Blue Flag of Europe’.

The haven of Analipsi with its sandy coast is distinguished for its clear water and for its beautiful, well-organized beach. If you wish to go sightseeing in the village, you should not miss its church dated back to 1890.

Nowadays, the church has been fashioned and a new wing has been built to it. Nevertheless, there are many old, exquisite icons exhibited here.

Nowadays, there are many new hotels, as well as apartments to let in Analipsi, where one can stay for his holidays. The number of beds available in the area counts to 4500!!

There is no doubt that Analipsi is a considerable point of reference and a very promising tourist destination.

Gold bracelet found in treasure hunt

A gold bracelet worth $1,300 (£774) has been found in a car park in America by the winner of a treasure hunt.

The hunt is part of Devon Fine Jewelry's Finders Keepers event where more than $25,000 (£14,890) of jewellery, including gold rings and pendants, has been hidden around the town of Wyckoff, New Jersey.

Peggy Diamond was the lucky winner. She told CBS Radio: "My heart's still pounding, I've never won anything."

The ten-day event is part of the store's 30th anniversary celebrations organised by the owner Nancy Schuring as a "thank you to the communities that have shown support and loyalty over the years".

White Devon bags marked with orange Finders Keepers labels will contain the prizes and each bag contains a letter explaining that the finder is allowed to keep the jewellery.

The hunt will be running until November 26th and 30 bags of treasure can be won.

THE CRETANS

THE NAME OF THE CRETANS

According to the ancient writers Pafsanias (Iliaka), Stravon (Geographics 10), Diodoros (Book 4 and 5), etc., initially the Cretans were named “Idaioi dactylae” or “Couretes”. Couretes (Greek Kourites, is derived from the words Kouri, korasia, epi-koro = Latin curio) etc., were the young Cretan people who nourished (cared for the infant’s upbringing and well being) Zeus and subsequently all Cretans. Consequently the name “Krites” = Cretans, derived from the name C(ou)retans, as it is concluded from mythology. Crete was the daughter of one of ...

Silver

Athenian silver coin showing Athena and her owl

People first mined silver in the Bronze Age, for jewelry. Silver was pretty easy to find all over Europe and West Asia. The big problem was, silver ore (the rocks that had silver in them) generally also had lead in it, so that lead mining and silver mining were the same thing. But lead is very poisonous, so the men who were mining the silver were also being poisoned by the lead. Most lead-and-silver miners died of lead poisoning in two or three years. Because of this, most free men wouldn't work in the mines, and so they forced slaves to work in the mines instead.


One famous silver mine was Laurion, near Athens in Greece. About 500 BC, the Athenians found an enormous silver mine right near Athens, on land that belonged to the government. This mine was what paid to build Athens' first navy, and helped Athens to become a powerful city-state.

Gold Quality

Gold's purity is measured in karats. The term "karat" harks back to the ancient bazaars where "carob" beans were used to weigh precious metals. 24 karat is pure gold, but its purity means it is more expensive and less durable than gold that is alloyed with other metals. Different alloys are used in jewelry for greater strength, durability and color range. The karatage of the jewelry...
