Created for the Island of Crete by Teo Papadoulakis.
Crete is the largest and most populous of the Greek islands and the fifth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
It forms a significant part of the economy and cultural heritage of Greece while retaining its own local cultural traits (such as its own dialect, poetry, and music).
Crete was the centre of the
Minoan civilization (c. 2700–1420 BC), the earliest civilization in Europe,
comprising the first palaces in Europe.
