Back to newsAn art exhibition is commemorating the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Crete and the broader Greek campaign of World War II, honouring veterans who served in the region during 1941. The Battle of Crete, fought in May 1941, was one of the most significant airborne invasions in military history and remains deeply meaningful to Cretans, Australians, New Zealanders, and British visitors whose ancestors fought there.
For tourists, Crete offers several permanent sites related to this history, including the Battle of Crete and National Resistance Museum in Heraklion, the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Souda Bay near Chania, and the German War Cemetery at Maleme. The Souda Bay cemetery is open to visitors year-round and is a moving tribute to Allied soldiers. Check local listings in Chania and Heraklion for details on this specific exhibition's dates and venue.
