Abstract

In September of 1982 I visited Crete, intending to stay there for just two weeks. Six months later I was still on the island. During this time I was able to see, at first hand, the type of lifestyle led by some of the Cretans, especially in the village of Myrtos, on the south coast. Although I have been back to Crete since then, most of this article is based on my own observations made during my first stay.
