Krimini
yesterday...
and today...
My birthplace, greatest love of my life! I grew up in your arms and got from you the sacred knowledge and the supreme virtue. I stood still upon your rocky hills and sang many songs about you in many ways. I gave life to your myths and legends and enlightened your everlasting secrets! |
And when I fall, strengthened by your knowledge and your beauty, I want to rest in peace, to hear the human messages, the songs of the universe. I hear your breathing like a lullaby, caressed by your gentle pulses! My everlasting dream, my beloved birthplace! |

Sixty long years after the call of Fotis Papanikolaou, we seek the roots
of a village, its myths and stories, its morals and customs, its
folklore, its culture. We seek Krimini...
It is a team effort to
ensure coherence and unity of our fellow villagers and guests of
Krimini as well, based entirely on the voluntary and unbiased
contribution of all the participants.
All those who want and
can, please, help us in a better and more accurate recording and
preservation of our heritage, the history of Krimini. Our aim is to
collect, record and maintain all published and unpublished written,
photographic, audio and video material related to Krimini.
The
whole project is non-profit, non-funded, not guided, not influenced in
any way. It does not aim at self-promotion and primarily does not belong
to anyone! The historical heritage of a place comes from the place
itself and its people and belongs to all those who loved it.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon...
Your first duty, in completing your service to your race, is to feel within you all your ancestors.
Your second duty is to shed light upon their urge and to continue their work.
Your third duty is to pass on to your son the great mandate to surpass you...Nikos Kazatzakis
