🏰 The castle of Frangokastello was built in 1374 to deter pirates and to protect Venetian nobles and their properties. Frangokastello is also famous for the legendary ghosts of "Drosoulites". As described by witnesses, the visions consist of a group of human-like shadows walking or riding armed with weapons. Legend has it that this group of people are Greek fighters that died during the Battle of Frangokastello in 1828 and since then they appear as supernatural beings in the area. The phenomenon is said to be visible every year in early June. . 📷 @michaliskoulieris | #cretenature . ▶️ https://www.cretenature.com . . . . .
🏞️ Aradena is an abandoned village in Sfakia region, famous for its deep gorge. In the past, everyone who wanted to visit the village had to descent the path to the bottom of the gorge. Since the mid-80s, there is a small metal bridge that connects the two sides of the Aradena gorge, making it easily accessible by car. . 📷 @michaliskoulieris | #cretenature . ▶️ https://www.cretenature.com . . . . .
