Indeed, the Cretan culture is distinguished by the nature of the clothes worn by the islanders during special ceremonies. The dominant colors are often blue and black.<\/p>\n<p>The Cretan is said to be a stubborn, quick-witted and also courageous person. This may be true insofar as its inhabitants had to fight against various invasions for 4000 years. It must be said that in the long run, it builds character.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the island has become a real attractive center. Tourists come by the thousands every year to discover the island land where Zeus is said to have been born.

The island would also have been the scene of the union of Zeus and Europa, the fruit of which was the birth of Minos.<\/p>\n<p>It is also on the island of Crete, more precisely in Knossos, that the famous labyrinth built by Daedalus would have existed. The same one that had contained a minotaur that had come into the world through the adulterous union of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, with a bull of Poseidon.<\/p>\n<p>Other fantastic stories are related to Crete. There is, for example, the wax wings built by Icarus and his father Daedalus, the author of the Labyrinth, or the heroism of Theseus and Ariadne who defeated the Minotaur.
