Perhaps God is guiding my hand. I am off on a Pilgrimage to Crete starting on the 9/9/08. I will start from The Despo Hotel, Gouves. I will then drive to some thirty locations in which are memiorals to THE CRETAN CIVILIANS who gave their lives that I mave live mine in peace and travel undindered. Alikianos will be just one place I will visit. I will be taking my pipes and in uniform play a piper's lament before placing a memorial wreath. No fuss, no crowds - just a 73 year old piper bowing his head to say not only "I WILL REMEMBER" but also "THANK YOU". I have no set plan. I will rest my head where God guides me .....................

I'm not a great expert but have spent most of my holidays over last few years around the Agios Nikolaos area & the section of the 2nd film either side of the 2 minute mark is definitely taken around the War Memorial in Venizelou Square in Agios itself. The walk following is down R Koundourou which took them the 150m straight from the square to the harbour & lake. I know from reading your articles that you have a depth of knowledge going well back, but wondered if you had previous come across the items shown in the "Images from another age" section of the Agios Nikolaos municipal site. I can't see any trace of their vintage but they are interesting (to me anyway!). Pete Ray
