"Happy Greek Easter!

Last week, I wished you all a Happy Catholic Easter. We celebrate my wife's Easter this weekend -- the Greek Orthodox version. Will the Catholic and Orthodox churches ever agree on when to celebrate Easter? Probably not.

Happy Easter to all... again!"

From the web log of Richard Poe, a New York Times-bestselling author and cyberjournalist. His column appears weekly on NewsMax.com . Poe has written nine books since 1993.

Sfakia-Crete.com: This is probably the best site on anything geographicaly specific that I have seen on any area of Greece. Lovingly cared for by its webmaster.

Stelios Jackson, Hellenic Bookservice, London

Sfakia-Crete.com : plenty of information about the region of Sfakia as well as Crete in general. One of the best Cretan sites available.

WOW! You have answered my questions quickly & completely. Since I already had a package to Crete I would not be bringing you any of my business, but I have only the highest praise for a company that helps someone even when there is no profit for them. You have my permission to quote me, if you like.

www.sfakia-crete.com
Highly regarded guide to Sfakia and the southwestern coast of Crete, produced by the friendly owners of a large hotel, with comprehensive, insiders-type information on topics ranging from beaches and hikes to museums and general travel tips. And some pleasant surprises, including an extensive section on Cretan music (with sound samples)

Example of good web sites and descriptions (regarding Greece):

Visiting this web address you will be taken to a visual pleasing web page. It has nice readable text, clear pictures, and once in a lot of good information about visiting the island of Crete. This site also provides plenty of information for travel and tourism, this is a great place to look at if you do plan to visit Greece or Crete. A very well put together web site if I had to grade it would be an “A-“ because it offers great information and great pictures that intrigue your interest.

HANIOTIKA NEA - June 25, 2001 Issue
Internet Sites about Hania (Chania)

"This article appeared on the June 25, 2001 Issue of the local Chania newspaper. It was written by Mr. George Konstas. I thought you would like to know that you who have the sites that follow have been greatly praised by the local paper for your efforts to project beautiful Crete and especially the West Crete area. (Sites that tend to be commercial and for-profit, have been omitted.)"

www.sfakia-crete.com

A truly complete site, with a plethora of information for the gallant and brave Sfakians and their region. Rich historical information for its past and present. A detailed map of Sfakia and existing accommodations (hotels, bakeries, restaurants, cafeteria, bus stops, churches, mini-markets, port information, etc.). Also, useful telephone numbers and advice, tour guide and a Cretan dialect (Sfakian) study of Professor Peter Trudgill of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland are included. The only drawback at this site is that all information is in English. Those who do not know English will not be able to use this treasure of information.

Thanks to Athanati for sending this translated review.

www.sfakia-crete.com
Ενα πραγματικά χορταστικό site, με πλήθος πληροφοριών για την ηρωϊκή επαρχία και όχι μόνο. Πλούσια ιστορικά στοιχεία για το παρελθόν της περιοχής και των κατοίκων της, ειδικά ένθετα αφιερωμένο στην... τσικουδιά και στο τάβλι, καθώς και ένας κατατοπιστικότατος χάρτης της Χώρας Σφακίων με όλα τα απαραίτητα σημεία σημειωμένα (φούρνοι, εστιατόρια, καφετέριες, σταθμός λεωφορείου, εκκλησίες, mini market, λιμάνι κ.α.). Χρήσιμα τηλέφωνα, συμβουλές, οδηγίες και μια μελέτη του καθηγητή στο Πανεπιστήμιο Fribourg της Ελβετίας, κ. Peter Trudgill, για τη Σφακιανή και γενικότερα την κρητική διάλεκτο: Κateo/ I know/ ξέρω. Μοναδικό μειονέκτημα ίσως ότι όλες οι πληροφορίες βρίσκονται στα Αγγλικά, επομένως οι μη γνωρίζοντες την Αγγλική μάλλον θα δυσκολευτούν να τις αξιοποιήσουν.
