Cretans usually like meeting people: They have no real word for foreigner or stranger: Its the same word as 'guest'. Cretans generaly like Celebrations (with a lot of music, dancing, drinking,...). The following 'dancing'-scene was photographed during a baptism. Winter can be cold - even in Crete - That is... it's not really cold there, but it can feel cold, because heaters are not really comon in Crete. But the people have there Rak'i to warm them up. The Cretan Rak'i has nothing in commmon with the turkish Rak'i (which is rather like a Greek Ouzo): it's much closer to the italian Grappa. Raki is made from Treber, the remains of pressing grapes. It is destilled in October or November in the Kasani, the destillery of the village. |
