Aquila Hotels in Crete SPA

“There is a kind of flame in Crete – let us call it “soul” – something more powerful than either life or death. There is pride, obstinacy, valor, and together with these something else inexpressible and imponderable, something which makes you rejoice that you are human being, and at the same time tremble.”

Nikos Kazantzakis, writer – from his autobiographical novel “Report to Greco”
