I spent approximately a month in Crete (Κριτι) during the summer of 2000. It could be thought of as the "Texas" of Greece, as there is a sort of wild West atmosphere there, especially in the countryside. While visiting one rural taverna, as the traditional band complete with lyra (λύρα) played fast and furious, a man stepped out the door, pulled a pistol from his belt, and fired a few shots into the air. The favored alcoholic beverage of this largest of the Greek islands is raki (ρακί).
