Andartis – Partisan of Peace

Rethymno Province


Right on the Nida Plateau, high on Mt Psiloritis, you can make out this sprawling landscape sculpture created by German artist Karina Raeck in 1991 to commemorate the Cretan resistance in WWII. The monument itself is a pile of local rocks arranged in such a way that it looks like an angel when seen from above. It’s a flat and easy 1.25km walk out here.
