The southeastern coast of Crete is defined by abrupt changes in elevation as a result of the proximity of the mountainous and coastal areas, the absence of coastal plains (with the exception of the area of Ierapetra), and the absence of natural harbours.
In an attempt to explore some aspects of the evolution of the maritime cultural landscape of this area with the aforementioned particularities, in this paper I present the available material evidence from the Early Minoan to the Roman period, related to the element of the sea, which comes from various sites along the southeastern coast of Crete, including the islands of Chryssi and Lefki.
The purpose is to develop the knowledge and advance the understanding of the maritime culture for this lesser-known part of Crete, offering a diachronic approach and a macroscopic frame for the comprehension of human activity in the specific coastal context, while focusing on its maritime aspect.

From a policy of restriction to the permission of recreational diving, the process of valorising, representing and managing underwater archaeological heritage in Greece has been a recent development. When previous legal enforcements required the monitoring and control of underwater archaeological heritage, the discipline suffered from an ineffective means of communication which affected the public image of the underwater archaeologist. This paper examines the role of underwater archaeological parks in representing an extra-national cultural asset, promoting archaeological knowledge and inspiring cultural memory. Focusing on the cases of Methoni Bay-Sapientza Island (SW Peloponnese) and Northern Sporades it argues that the establishment of underwater archaeological parks are a means to ensure preservation and public access as well consolidating underwater archaeology within the contemporary Greek archaeological discipline.

In this discussion we will explore the anthropic and geological evolution of the Southeast coast of the island of Crete from the Early Minoan (3rd millennium BC) to the Late Roman period (4th c. AD) by presenting the available archaeological and geological evidence that comes from the underwater and terrestrial environments of which the former is composed. The aim is to shed some light to this lesser known and studied area of the island, while at the same time understanding how the human presence evolved and interacted with an often inhospitable and geographically isolated landscape as the one which is under discussion, using a much-needed sea-oriented key of interpretation.

This paper presents part of the preliminary results of an on-going research focused on a comprehensive archaeological/historical/topographic/geological study of the evolution of the SE coast of Crete. Here we will gather the available archaeological data that concerns the coastal sites of South-East Crete (settlements, cemeteries, port structures and other types of coastal structures that cover a vast chronological range from Bronze Age to Middle Ages) aiming in detecting the various settlement patterns as well as the possibility of the existence of diachronic ones regarding not only the coastal human occupation but also the usage of the shoreline as a medium for maritime activity.

In this poster we will present the evolution of the underwater archaeological research regarding the island of Crete (Greece) during the past decades, aiming into increasing the knowledge about it. To this end there will be provided a brief outline of the history of research, from the explorations of the British School of Archaeology in the late 1950s and the survey of Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s team in the 1970s, to the recent foundation (2010) of the Office of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities at Crete, along with a recap of the most remarkable discoveries of the underwater archaeology of the island. Finally we will mention the current status of the research and its future prospects.
