Back to newsA documentary screening is taking place in Crete featuring the first episode of "The Sisters of Galatas," a film exploring the lives of Cretan women during the German Occupation of World War II. The episode, titled "Out of Their Own Hands," focuses on the resilience and experiences of women from the Galatas area, a village near Chania in northwestern Crete. The documentary offers a personal, local perspective on one of the most significant periods in Cretan history. For visitors interested in the island's wartime heritage, this screening is a valuable opportunity to connect with local memory and culture. Galatas itself is close to Chania city and to the Souda Bay Allied War Cemetery, making it a meaningful stop for those exploring the region's World War II sites.
