El Greco Museum in Fodele (Crete, Greece)

Fodele is of these lands and you feel his spirit in the flight of the orange-kissed butterflies. It is known as the birthplace of El Greco and a visit to the museum that celebrates this iconic Cretan artist is always a must when you stay in this village and even when you are just passing through. El Greco’s home is set in a peaceful rural area just outside the village, next to the Church of the Panayia, overlooking fragrant olive groves that seem to stretch forever in the valley below.
