rete, with a population of 650,000(2005), is one of the 13 regions into which Greece is divided. It forms the largest island in Greece and the second largest (after Cyprus) in the East Mediterranean. The island has an elongated shape : it spans 260 km from east to west and 60 km at its widest, although the island is narrower at certain points, such as in the region close to Ierapetra , where it reaches a width of only 12 km. Crete covers an area of 8,336 km², with a coastline of 1046 km ; to the north it broaches the Sea of Crete (Greek: Κρητικό Πέλαγος); to the south the Libyan Sea (Greek: Λιβυκό Πέλαγος); in the west the Myrtoan Sea, and toward the east the Karpathion Sea. It lies approximately 160 km south of the Greek mainland.

Do you willfully deny the facts?
9 Secular Sources For Jesus
Josephus (Jewish historian), Tacitus (Roman historian), Pliny the Younger (Roman politician), Phlegon (freed slave who wrote histories), Lucian (Greek satirist), Celsus (Roman philosopher), Mara Bar Serapion (prisoner awaiting execution), Suetonius, and Thallus.
Josephus
The famous Testimonium Flavianum found in the Antiquities of the Jews 18.63-64, in its current form summarises the ministry and death of Jesus.
Tacitus
Tacitus’ work called the Annals (written c. 116) Book 15.44 mentions Christ as a person executed by Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius.
Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (AD 61-113), or Pliny the Younger, was the governor of Bithynia (AD 112) Christians were "meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verse a hymn to Christ as to a god, and bound themselves to a solemn oath, not to do wicked deeds, never commit fraud, theft, adultery, not to lie nor to deny a trust. . . " – Epistles X96
Phlegon, born about A.D. 80 "And with regard to the eclipse in the time of Tiberius Caesar, in whose reign Jesus appears to have been crucified, and the great earthquakes which then took place . . . ” – Origen, "Against Celsus", Book 2.33
Lucian of Samosata lived A.D. 120-180. The Christians. . . worship a man to this day – the distinguished personage who introduced this new cult, and was crucified on that account. . . . You see, these misguided creatures start with the general conviction that they are immortal for all time, which explains their contempt for death and self devotion . . . their lawgiver [taught] they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws. All this they take on faith . . . – The Passing Peregrinus
CELSUS (~ 178 A.D.)
"Jesus, on account of his poverty, was hired out to go to Egypt. While there he acquired
certain [magical] powers… He returned home highly elated at possessing these powers, and on the strength of
them gave himself out to be a god… It was by means of sorcery that He was able to accomplish the wonders
which He performed… Let us believe that these cures, or the resurrection, or the feeding of a multitude with a
few loaves… These are nothing more than the tricks of jugglers… It is by the names of certain demons, and by
the use of incantations, that the Christians appear to be possessed of [miraculous] power…"
"Jesus had come from a village in Judea, and was the son of a poor Jewess who gained her
living by the work of her hands. His mother had been turned out by her husband, who was a carpenter by trade,
on being convicted of adultery [with a Roman soldier named Panthera]. Being thus driven away by her husband,
and wandering about in disgrace, she gave birth to Jesus, a bastard."
"Jesus accordingly exhibited after His death only the appearance of wounds received on the
cross, and was not in reality so wounded as He is described to have been."
Too much to keep writing.
Mara Bar Serapion
What else can we say, when the wise are forcibly dragged off by tyrants, their wisdom is captured by insults, and their minds are oppressed and without defense? What advantage did the Athenians gain from murdering Socrates? Famine and plague came upon them as a punishment for their crime. What advantage did the men of Samos gain from burning Pythagoras? In a moment their land was covered with sand. What advantage did the Jews gain from executing their wise king? It was just after that their kingdom was abolished. God justly avenged these three wise men: the Athenians died of hunger; the Samians were overwhelmed by the sea and the Jews, desolate and driven from their own kingdom, live in complete dispersion. But Socrates is not dead, because of Plato; neither is Pythagoras, because of the statue of Juno; nor is the wise king, because of the "new law" he laid down.
Suetonius was a secretary and historian to Hadrian, Emperor of Rome from 117 to 138 AD. Regarding Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) and the Riot of Rome in 49 AD, Suetonius wrote:
As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus [Christ], he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome.
There is overwhelming evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ, both in secular and biblical history. Perhaps the greatest evidence that Jesus did exist is the fact that literally thousands of Christians in the first century A.D., including the twelve apostles, were willing to give their lives as martyrs for Jesus Christ. People will die for what they believe to be true, but no one will die for what they know to be a lie.
Lets say for example New York, New York to Kefalonia in Greece. The boat is big enough to handle the waves so no stupid replies like, "A yaht wont be able to travel those waters safely" . Also the speed is very fast. I wanna know what would be the least time it would take to get to Greece.
From the content of your question I must guess that you perhaps do not realize that literally thousands of yachtsmen and yachtswomen cross the Atlantic yearly, and many thousands more traverse the Mediterranean to Greece.
It is not possible however to give an "accurate" estimate on time without much more information: e.g. it would be necessary to know whether we are discussing a motor yacht and its potential speed, a sailing yacht and whether it will be solely under sail or using motor power as well and its potential speed, the planned route, most importantly the time of year, etc etc Even with all this information there are always, and I repeat always, unforseen circumstances which can alter the most thorough forward planning. It has been wisely said "I will arrive when you see me sail into the harbour".
I would differ with the previous Poster who gave an estimate of a week and a half–this would be a good time for the Atlantic crossing to the Canary Islands at the most favourable time of year with excellent prevailing winds, etc. Even big liners take five days.
Having said all this, sailing this route could prove to be wonderful for you, but sailing experience would be essential for anyone wanting to crew. If this is what you are aiming at may I suggest you visit your local yacht club to check out what sailing instruction is available. If it is not and your question is purely to seek information, this proposed visit will prove interesting, and chatting with the yachtspeople there will give you a better insight. Who knows? Perhaps you may discover a new hobby.
Hope this helps.
I’m going on a school trip to Greece on the 21st of april and I will be staying there for 14 days.
I’m not sure of the temperature, the electrical outlets or the clothes that would be appropriate in that country… Please help?
I’m heading for Athens
Depends which area of Greece you are going to. Usually the northern parts are cooler. If you are going to Crete the current temp is 18-20 degrees, but cooler at night, so you can get away with a T-shirt daytime with a light jacket and then something a bit warmer in the evening. In April when you come it may be slightly warmer, but only by around 2 degs. Electrical outlets are two pin for Europe, so if you are coming from the UK bring an adaptor. Clothes warn are the same as UK and the rest of Europe.
