    What is the meaning behind the Epiphany catching cross tradition?

    I live in Montreal, so I've never witnessed the catching of the cross (when they throw the cross into the ocean and people swim to get it). What is the meaning behind this? And is it done in all parts of Greece?

    Best family beaches in Crete

    Elafonisi has some of the calmest waters. It's so soothing and there are no rocks!! There's nothing worse than going to a beach with rocks or trash :(

    I'm wondering if I should book a guided tour to really get to know the city well and learn about all of the history and culture. Is it worth it? And would you recommend a private tour guide or going in a group? I really want to learn more about the places that I'm visiting and not just walking...
