Arkadi Monastery
Skulls found after the explosion in Arkadi Monastery.
After the monastery was under attack for two days by 15,000 Turks and 30 cannons, directed by Suleyman, the Turks had started to out number and control the fight. Mostly women and children gathered in the powder room so when the Turkish broke in Giaboudakis, a Greek soldier, set the barrels of powder on fire and the resulting explosion that killed numerous Turkish and Greek people. Most Greeks sought to end their lives rather than face rape and enslavement, sadly, this was the case for 114 Greek men and women.

Margarites Pottery
The village of Margarites Μαργαρίτες, is 30 km south east from Rethymnontown in the centre of the island of Crete in Greece. Located in picturesque green rolling hills, the village is well known for its pottery. I happened to stumble upon George Dalamvelas pottery studio. He was welcoming and shared his secrets and his love for Margarites. He lives a happy life digging for clay up in the mountain top works with his wife in their magical studio.
