On Sunday, May 10, at 11:30 AM, the village of Amygdalos in the Asterousia Mountains south of Heraklion will host the unveiling of a commemorative bust honoring Manolis Bikakis (1954-1994), a Cretan fighter celebrated for his role in the Cyprus conflict. The ceremony takes place in a small mountain village set within the scenic Asterousia range, an area known for its traditional character and dramatic landscapes. Visitors interested in Cretan history and the island's deep ties to Cyprus are welcome to attend. Amygdalos is accessible by road from Heraklion, roughly a 45-minute drive south. The event offers a genuine glimpse into local commemorative culture and the strong bonds Cretans maintain with their historical heroes.
