About this excursion
Apostolis Panigirakis, a certified historian specializing in contemporary history leads you through the evacuation route that ANZAC Troops took on late MAY 1941, after their retreat:
We follow the troops until we get to their main evacuation port in Sfakia. In the evacuation that the Allies took during the Battle of Crete, thousands of ANZACs were safely evacuated towards Alexandria.
We understand and comprehend the difficulties of the evacuation during WW2. In a short while, we arrive at a one-of-a-kind private war museum, with rare historical finds from the era of the Battle of Crete.
Our specialized historian explains the history of WW2 in Greece and Crete. and the operation Mercury, as we prepare to descend towards the treacherous terrain and mountains towards the beaches and ports of South Crete.
Finally, we reach the port of Sfakia, which was the main evacuation port and we pay our respects to the ANZAC war memorial.
