The Minotaur was a mythical creature with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man. He dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth in Minos, Crete, and had the bad habit of devouring humans. He was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus. This design was inspired by Greek vases.

This design comes from a Minoan fresco in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The reconstruction was originally done by Emile Gilliéron.

Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III 8 miles to the south of Ierapetra (Lasithi prefecture, Crete island) , there is a small, uninhabited exotic island, a small paradisi called Chrissi (golden) island, or Gaidouronisi (Donkey island). The inhabitants of Ierapetra, simply call it "The island". It is a protected area because there is a Lebanese cedar forest, unique in Europe. The golden beaches of the island have been created by billions of white shells. 2-3 ships depart daily in the morning, from Ierapetra and they return in the afternoon. Camping is prohibited, but you will always see some campers there (usually locals) staying from a few days to some months! No signs of "civilization" there, no electricity, no houses or hotels just 2 t...

Agios Nikolaos town and the "bottomless" Voulismeni lake, Lasithi, Crete, Greece.

Beach between Myrtos and Tertsa villages, on the "borders" of Heraklion and Lasithi prefectures, on the south coast of Crete island, Greece.

One of the most beautiful beaches of Crete, is located at the western shore of the island, very close to the ancient town of Falasarna, (harbour of ancient Polyrrinia), about 60 km west of Chania (Crete island, Greece) and 20 km west of Kastelli. Exotic beach with crystal clear water, and few rooms to rent for those who seek some days of relaxing. That pink-red colour that you see on the shoreline right where the wave breaks, is caused by thousands tiny pink-red shells, that make their appearance around the end of August, start of September. *EXIF DATA* Focal length: 16mm Aperture: f/13 Shutter speed:1;/100 sec ISO: 200

Night view of the picturesque old, Venetian port of Chania, Crete island, Greece. In the foreground you can see the Kucuk Hasan mosque, also known as "Gyali Camisi", monument from the years of the Ottoman empire.

This photo is taken in Koufonisi island (ancient name, "Lefki" island), one of the two tiny islands that you can find close to my hometown, Ierapetra (Lasithi), on the south of Crete island (the other island is Chrissi island or Gaidouronissi. This photo is taken close to one of the main beaches of the island, called "Theatro beach" because of an ancient theatre of 1.000 seats that you can find there. This is one of the many natural stone arches, that you can find there, called "Kamareles" by the locals. In the deep background you can see the southern coast of Crete. I used "fill in" flash to get some detail from inside the cave.
