4 A Brief History of Crete, Greece The isle of Crete is credited as the birthplace of the first civilization in Europe. The Minoan Civilization flourished from about 2600 BC until 1150 BC. The Minoans had significant naval power and commercial contact with ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and other ancient civilizations in the region. They exported olive oil, wine, herbs, currants, wool, textiles, and dyes. Imports were precious stones, copper, ivory, silver, gold, and tin used in the production of bronze alloys. The Minoans also exchanged artistic ideas and techniques with their trading partners, as evident in artwork, transport vessels (elaborately designed amphora), and precious metal production. Women played a powerful role in society, as evidenced by archaeological findings and deities worshiped at the time. The respect and protection of nature and her food sources also played a central role in society through religious beliefs/mythology, art and ceremonies. In mythology, Zeus was raised in Crete and there are many mountain sanctuaries in his honor with artifacts providing information of the beliefs and rituals of our ancestors. After the collapse of the Minoan civilization, a series of invasions, occupation, raiders and traders through the ages has shaped the cultural, architectural and natural heritage of Crete. As the southernmost island in Europe, Crete's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, and mild climate for agricultural production made Crete an ideal location and target for invasion and occupation. Crete succeeded in joining Greece in 1913, after a series of rebellions against the Ottoman Empire and also rejecting pressure by the great powers of Europe to consider autonomy. Page 4 of 11
5 Crete's diverse ecosystems, rugged mountain terrain, majestic coastal vistas, intriguing geology, botany, biodiversity, music, literature and heroic resistance movements throughout time, all encompass the distinctive character of the isle and its people. Several historic figures were born in Heraklion, Crete, including the world-famous painter, Doménikos Theotokópoulos (El Greco, ). As was Nikos Kazantzakis, the celebrated Greek writer ( ), whose works include Zorba the Greek, Captain Michalis, and The Last Temptation of Christ. Known as The Garden of Greece, agriculture plays an integral role in everyday life, emphasizing our interrelationship between food, nature, culture and community. Modern Crete is blessed with a fascinating history spanning over four thousand years, natural beauty and an abundance of healthy food choices, both wild and cultivated. There is much to discover and enjoy. There is also much to protect. Beyond the seaside resorts and imposing limestone cliffs are people striving to preserve their heritage -- ecologists, historians, sustainable organic farmers, artisan food producers, beekeepers, fishers, chefs and many others. They are striving to maintain what many of us have lost touch with a connection between their community and nature. Their knowledge of sustainable living practices is beneficial to the global community. Many people around the world are striving to return to the land, while many people in rural Crete have never left the land. But modern society beckons and rural communities are abandoned or developed. Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries Educational Network (CCS) introduces visitors/students to residents like Yiorgos, who maintains his small family farm much like his ancestors, using sustainable organic methods. He refuses to buy food from outside sources and even collects salt from a rocky beach nearby. The chicken I eat must first dine at my house, he says. Crete is also the center of the Mediterranean Diet studies. The renowned traditional healthy cuisine of Crete is not a phenomenon; it s a matter of respecting the land and the bounties it provides. Every great chef will tell you that they are only as good as their ingredients. The foundation of the Mediterranean Diet concepts, which has been deemed by UNESCO as Page 5 of 11
6 Intangible Heritage requiring protection, is fresh, local, organic food and a clean environment. Many wild plants are used in cooking and natural medicine, which CCS seminar attendees discover during botanical hikes in the countryside and cooking demonstrations. Both residents and visitors benefit from community-based preservation programs. Careful consideration and strong alliances are required to sustain these programs. Residents are investing their time and money to share valuable knowledge and real, safe food. CCS offers visitors/students a rare opportunity to discover the heart of Crete and obtain information that can enrich their lives.
