Oh that's really awesome! Would love to go there maybe next vacation. :)
Do you know that the Apostle Paul wrote in the bible concerning the Cretans? :-D
He quoted what is known as the Epimenides paradox.
Wikipedia:
In the 1st century AD, the quote is mentioned by Paul of Tarsus as the words of a man who was insubordinate, an empty talker and a deceiver, yet spoke truly in this statement.
One of Crete's own prophets has said it: 'Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, idle bellies'. He has surely told the truth. For this reason correct them sternly, that they may be sound in faith instead of paying attention to Jewish fables and to commandments of people who turn their backs on the truth.
— Epistle to Titus, 1:12–13

Wow, that's a cool little fact! Whenever I heard the word "Cretan", the first thing I thought of was the food! :)
LOL
That's a good one!
