Back to newsA new book titled "Kapetan Satanas: The Legendary Leader and His Action in Crete" has been published and is now available. The book focuses on one of Crete's most storied historical figures, a resistance leader whose nickname "Captain Satan" reflected his fierce reputation. Crete has a rich tradition of local heroes and armed resistance, particularly during the Ottoman period and World War II, and books like this offer insight into that legacy. Visitors interested in Cretan history can look for this title in local bookshops across the island. For deeper context on Cretan resistance history, the Historical Museum of Crete in Heraklion and the Battle of Crete Museum in Chania are recommended stops.
