In the late 19th century, almost coinciding with the expulsion of the Ottomans from Crete, the Jesuit priest Marcin Czermiński arrived on the island. Between 1899 and 1904, this traveller from Krakow made three visits to Crete, mainly staying around the central and western parts of the island. He described his impressions in a number of publications. During his second visit (1903), Czermiński focused his attention on the most important archaeological excavations of the time. First, he visited the sites of Phaistos and Ayia Triada in southern Crete and had the opportunity to meet the pioneers of Italian archaeology, Luigi Pernier, Federico Halbherr and Roberto Paribeni. Afterwards, he visited the great palace of Knossos and finally arrived at the Heraklion museum, whose director, Iosif Hatzidakis, shared a great discovery with him.

Soon after regaining independence (1830), the Greeks undertook efforts to rid their toponymical heritage of foreign names and to replace them with purely Hellenic oikonyms. Established in 1909, the ‘Renaming Committee’ made numerous decisions regarding local names throughout Greece, with 102 changes of place names on the island of Crete alone. In the present study, the author not only discusses the reasons for the elimination of the previous (foreign or ‘barbarous’) toponyms but also analyzes all of the new Cretan oikonyms introduced in 1920–1987 as a result of the planned Hellenization of geographical names.

The tourism sector is responsible for a large part of Greece’s GDP because the tourist assets of this country generate a lot of tourist traffic. The aim of the article is to compare the tourist attractiveness of the Ionian Islands, Dodecanese and Crete. This allowed for the creation of an attractiveness index. The following aspects were analyzed in detail: the number of tourist attractions, the number of hotels, the quality of these hotels, the number of airports and the number of seaports. Each of the elements was rated on a five-point scale. The region of the Ionian Islands turned out to be the most attractive for tourists. It has the most seaports and airports, so it is the most available in terms of communication. The number of attractions in the Ionian Islands is the largest among the studied areas. The number and quality of hotels is comparable to other analyzed places.

This study aims to present the collection of Takkanot Candia in its double role, both as a unique historical source regarding principally the history of everyday life in the Jewish community of Crete in the Venetian period (13th–16th centuries) and as a work of literature which provides us with an insight into the communal politics and inner dynamics of life in a Mediterranean Jewish community in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Takkanot Candia is noteworthy as one of the best preserved specimens of the takkanotkahal genre, whose position in the complex of pre‑Emancipation Jewish legal literature is rather specific. This is caused by its independence of the discourse of Halakhic literature, since takkanotkahal do not derive their authority from Jewish canonical texts, but rather from the authority of the communal leaders who issue them. The significance of Takkanot Candia as a work of literature, which was put together thanks to Renaissance‑era redaction of the historian Elijah Capsali (ca 1485–ca 1550) consists mainly in the authentic picture it presents of the inner fabric of the Candia Jewish community and a self‑reflection of Jewish communal elites on whose shoulders the responsibility for the community’s functioning rested. Study of this text could be a welcome contribution to a more complex understanding of Jewish self‑government in the times of important social changes as the Middle Ages shifted towards the beginning of the Modern Era.

The paper demonstrates the current state of research on the presence of Slavs on the island of Crete in the Middle Ages, as well as in the modern times. The basis for the discussion is a new book of Pantelis Haralampakis, published in 2016. There are numerous controversies surrounding the issues of the exact chronology of Slavic presence on the island, the lexical influence of South Slavic languages on the Cretan dialect of Modern Greek, as well as possible traces of Slavic settlements in the Cretan toponymy.

Antyczna nazwa wodna Κυμαιος, poświadczona na dwóch inskrypcjach opisujących granice pomiędzy kreteńskimi miastami-państwami Hierapytną i Lato, określała okresowy ciek wodny noszący w dobie współczesnej miano Kseropótamos (ngr. Ξεροπόταμος, dosłownie ‘sucha rzeka’) lub Fruzí Potamós (ngr. Φρουζή Ποταμός, dosłownie ‘rzeka Fruzisa’). Wywód starożytnego hydronimu od apelatywu gr. κῦμα (gen. sg. κύματος) n. (osnowa na -t-) ‘fala, bałwan’ wydaje się wątpliwy zarówno z punktu widzenia greckiego słowotwórstwa (rzekomy derywat nie wykazuje śladów tematycznej spółgłoski zębowej -t-), jak i z formalnych względów (rzeka nie płynie przez cały rok i nie niesie ‘falującej, wzburzonej’ wody). Za bardziej prawdopodobny należy uznać wywód od apelatywu greckiego κύμη f. ‘jakaś odmiana kapusty’. Florystyczne nazwy wodne cieszyły się popularnością zarówno w dobie starożytnej, jak i nowożytnej.

The ancient river name Κυμαῖος, attested in two inscriptions describing the boundaries of the Cretan cities Hierapytna and Lato, referred to a seasonal stream which is today called Kseropótamos (Mod. Gk. Ξεροπόταμος, literally ‘dry river’) or Fruzí Potamós (Mod. Gk. Φρουζή Ποταμός, literally ‘Fruzis’ river’). It is impossible to derive the ancient hydronym from the Greek appellative κῦμα (gen. sg. κύματος) n. (t-stem) ‘wave, billow’ because of formal reasons (it is not ‘a seething river’) as well as some problems connected with Ancient Greek word-formation (no traces of a t-stem are visible in the river name under analysis). The derivation from the Ancient Greek noun κύμη f. ‘a kind of cabbage’ is the most probable explanation. River names derived from plants were widespread in both ancient and modern times.

A multivariate analysis was carried out in order to investigate the most influential habitat variables and related features in the selection of breeding cliffs by the Griffon Vulture in Crete. The species was found nesting in mid-altitude areas, close to stock-raising units, on high limestone cliffs, which were also well protected against the prevailing winds of the island. A principal components analysis, which explained 53% of the total variance of the variables examined, differentiated Griffon Vulture colonies in relation to their isolation from other colonies, accessibility to humans and proximity to food resources. In addition, a stepwise discriminant function analysis between breeding and random cliffs included the height of the cliff, its substratum, the altitude, and the distance to the stock breeding unit in a model that successfully classified 97.1% of the nesting and 88.2% of the random cliffs. In comparison to continental regions the Griffon Vulture colonies in Crete were located on higher cliffs but at a lower altitude. This fact should be attributed to the species nesting on steep coastal cliffs close to the livestock's wintering areas.

Liczebność europejskiej populacji sępa płowego szacowana jest na około 21 tysięcy par lęgowych rozmieszczonych głównie w basenie Morza Śródziemnego. W Grecji liczebność tego drapieżnika nie przekracza 300 par. Jak dotąd jedynie nieliczne prace dotyczyły wybiórczości środowiskowej stanowisk lęgowych. Celem pracy było określenie preferencji w skali makro- i mikro- habitatowej, znalezienie różnic między populacją kreteńską a populacjami kontynentalnymi oraz prawidłowości w rozmieszczeniu kolonii lęgowych. W 2003 skontrolowano 34 klify, gdzie w latach 1996-2002 znajdowano gniazda tych drapieżników. Dla wszystkich stanowisk opisano 13 cech: rodzaj skał, topografię, wysokość klifu, wysokość nad poziomem morza, ekspozycję, przeważający kierunek wiatrów, odległość do wybrzeża, najbliższej szosy, drogi, farmy hodowlanej, osiedli ludzkich, liczbę ludności w najbliższym osiedlu, średnia odległość do najbliższej kolonii sępów (Tab. 1). Z pomocą komputera wybrano także 34 losowe punkty. W sytuacji, gdy wyznaczony punkt znajdował się na płaskowyżu, wybierano klif znajdujący się najbliżej. Wszystkie punkty znajdowały się około 11 km od najbliższej kolonii i innych punktów. Wyniki badań wskazują, że klify zajęte przez sępy w porównaniu z losowo wybranymi skałami znajdują się bliżej wybrzeży, są wyższe, leżą bliżej farm hodowlanych i są lepiej chronione przed północnymi wiatrami (Tab. 2). Analiza krokowa porównująca stanowiska gniazdowe i losowo wybrane punkty łączyła wysokość klifu, rodzaj skał, odległość od wybrzeży i farm hodowlanych w model grupujący 97.1% stanowisk gniazdowych i 88.2% losowo wybranych klifów (Tab. 3). Analiza składowej głównej wyjaśniająca 53% zmienności analizowanych zmiennych grupowała kolonie sępów w zależności od stopnia izolacji od innych, sąsiedztwa ludzi i dystansu do pokarmu (Tab. 4). W porównaniu z populacjami kontynentalnymi, gniazda sępów płowych na Krecie znajdowały się na wyższych skałach, bliżej wybrzeża.

EN
Analysis of rainfall data from the island of Crete, Greece was performed to identify key hydrological years and return periods as well as to analyze the inter-annual behavior of the rainfall variability during the period 1981–2014. The rainfall spatial distribution was also examined in detail to identify vulnerable areas of the island. Data analysis using statistical tools and spectral analysis were applied to investigate and interpret the temporal course of the available rainfall data set. In addition, spatial analysis techniques were applied and compared to determine the rainfall spatial distribution on the island of Crete. The analysis presented that in contrast to Regional Climate Model estimations, rainfall rates have not decreased, while return periods vary depending on seasonality and geographic location. A small but statistical significant increasing trend was detected in the inter-annual rainfall variations as well as a significant rainfall cycle almost every 8 years. In addition, statistically significant correlation of the island’s rainfall variability with the North Atlantic Oscillation is identified for the examined period. On the other hand, regression kriging method combining surface elevation as secondary information improved the estimation of the annual rainfall spatial variability on the island of Crete by 70% compared to ordinary kriging. The rainfall spatial and temporal trends on the island of Crete have variable characteristics that depend on the geographical area and on the hydrological period.

Ngr. dial. (wsch.kret.) βέρα f. ‘rozejm, czasowe pogodzenie się, pojednanie’ uważa się dość powszechnie za wyraz pochodzenia południowosłowiańskiego, por. mac. vera, bułg. vjára ‘wiara, zaufanie’, pol. wiara (< psł. *věra). Gdyby kreteńsko-słowiańskie zestawienie było poprawne, to semantyka wyrazu kreteńskiego wskazywałaby na pośrednictwo wojskowe. Wyraz mógł być przejęty od słowiańskich żołnierzy zaciężnych, biorących udział w wyprawie zbrojnej Nikifora Fokasa przeciwko arabskiemu emiratowi na Krecie (960-961). Z drugiej jednak strony, dotychczasowi badacze pomijają milczeniem fakt, że wyraz kreteński βέρα może być z powodzeniem uważany za prawdopodobne zapożyczenie tureckie, por. osm. vère ‘kapitulacja, poddanie’. W nowogreckich zabytkach literackich XVIII i XIX w. pojawia się wyraz βέρα o tym samym znaczeniu (‘poddanie, kapitulacja’). Apelatyw rumuński veră ‘kapitulacja’ (brzmiący identycznie jak termin kreteński) został wyliczony wśród zapożyczeń tureckich. Także semantyka kreteńskiego słowa przemawia raczej za jego turecką, a nie słowiańską genezą.

Mod. Gk. dial. (East Cretan) βέρα f. ‘armistice, truce, conciliation, reconciliation’ is usually treated as a borrowing from a South Slavic source, cf. Mac. vera, Bulg. vjára ‘faith, belief’, Pol. wiara (< Proto-Slavic *věra). If this connection would be correct, then the meaning of the Cretan word could suggest a military mediation. The word in question could be taken from Slavic mercenary soldiers, participating in the Cretan campaign of Nicefor II Fokas against the Muslim emirat of the island (960-961). On the other hand, most researchers ignore the fact that Cretan term βέρα may derive from Turkish vère ‘capitulation, surrender’. The word βέρα appears in the same meaning (‘surrender, capitulation’) in Modern Greek literary texts of the 18th and 19th c. AD. The Romanian appellative veră ‘capitulation’ (formally identical with the Cretan term βέρα) is listed among the obvious Turkish loanwords. Also the meaning of the Cretan word seems to suggest its Turkish origin (and not a Slavic one).

Xorides (Moerophora) dorotae Hilszczański sp. nov. and X. (Xorides) minos Hilszczański sp. nov. from Crete are newly described and figured. Species of Xoridinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Greece are listed. Only X. corcyrensis (Kriechbaumer) and Odontocolon appendiculatum (Gravenhorst) had been known so far from the country. Odontocolon quercinum Thomson, X. berlandi Clèment, X. propinquus (Tschek), X. praecatorius (F.) and X. gravenhorstii Curtis are new for the Greek fauna. Aegomorphus krueperi Kraatz (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is recorded as a host for X. propinquus.

The aim of the present study was to identify any possible protective effects of wild greens on certain biochemical cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in elderly women leaving in rural Crete. For the needs of the study a region with high consumption of wild greens (Avdou) and a region with low consumption (Anogia) were identified and a representative population from each area was recruited (n= 37 and n=35 respectively). Serum lipids and fibrinogen levels, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), soluble intercellular adhesion molucule-1 (sVCAM-1), soluble vascular adhesion molucule-1 (s-ICAM-1) and haematological factors were measured in both regions during winter and summer time when wild-green plants consumption is high and low, respectively. Regarding classic lipid risk factors for arteriosclerosis no significant different between the two regions were detected. TAC was found higher in Avdou compared to Anogia during winter screening, but null in both regions during summer. Fibrinogen was found higher in Avdou compared to Anogia while no differences between the two regions were detected for sVCAM-1 and s-ICAM-1 in both screenings. The significantly higher TAC and fibrinogen values detected in Avdou could be attributed to the higher wild green consumption in that region since resent data indicated that their content in vitamin C and E as well as flavonoids is particularly high.

The Alpine ibex Capra ibex and the wild goat Capra aegagrus are the only caprids known to have existed in the Balkan Peninsula. The agrimi is a feral primitive form of the domestic goat Capra hircus but may constitute an island subspecies of C. aegagrus endemic to Crete, Greece. Here, the distribution of C. ibex and C. aegagrus in this southernmost Balkan country was reviewed for the period from Middle Pleistocene until today through a scientific and historical document search. Such knowledge should provide directions to future conservation plans for these species and aid in tracing the origins of agrimi. Fossil locations indicate that both species lived in this country at elevations of similar altitude (≥10– ≤ 2,497 m a.s.l.). C. ibex colonised Greece naturally, perhaps, not earlier than 126,000 years ago. It was spread over most of the mainland (36–41° N and 20–24° E) where from it disappeared after 5600 BC due to hunting. C. aegagrus constituted an exotic in Europe. Man introduced it to insular and mainland Greece (between 35–40° N and 19–26° E) from around 8600 and 7000 BC, respectively. It went extinct on the mainland probably before 6000 BC. Only C. ibex should, therefore, be restored to its former Balkan ranges. This review provides further support for the wild origin hypothesis for agrimi.
