The Attack on Convoy AN 14 was a naval engagement during the Second World War between a British naval force defending a convoy of merchant ships, sailing from Port Said and Alexandria to Piraeus in Greece and two Italian torpedo boats which intercepted them north of the island of Crete on 31 January 1941. The Italian vessels, Lupo and Libra launched two torpedoes each. The torpedoes fired by Libra missed their target but one from Lupo hit the 8,120 GRT British tanker Desmoulea which had to be towed to Suda Bay in Crete and beached; the ship was disabled for the rest of the war. One other merchant ship turned back; the other eight vessels reached Piraeus.

When Second World War began in September 1939, the ship was in the Mediterranean but was shortly transferred to the South Atlantic to hunt for German commerce raiders and blockade runners, capturing one of the latter in November.Hereward Hereward was transferred to the Home Fleet in May 1940 and rescued Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands after the Germans had invaded.

Sideros (Greek: Σίδερος), is the outermost of a chain of two island-like peninsulas forming, with Itanos promontory, Cape Sidero. They are all three the summits of submarine elevations connected by rocky surface cols on which a road has been constructed to Cape Sidero Lighthouse, the elevated facsimile chapel of Saint Isidore, and Port Joannis, a cove of 2 fathoms (12 ft) (about 4 m). There are ruins of an ancient temple of Athena destroyed by a tsunami and facilities of the Kyriamadi Naval Station. Kyriamadi is the other island-like peninsula in the chain. Administratively the cape lies within the Itanos municipal unit, Sitia Municipality, Lasithi regional unit, and Crete region.

Cape Sideros or Cape Sidero (Greek: Άκρα Σίδερος, romanized: Akra Sideros) is a cape at the eastern end of the island of Crete, Greece. Anciently it was known as Samonium or Samonion (Ancient Greek: Σαμώνιον), Sammonium or Sammonion (Ancient Greek: Σαμμώνιον), Salmonium or Salmonion (Σαλμώνιον) and Salmone (Σαλμώνη). The cape shares the name Sideros or Sidero with the island-like peninsula of which it is a projection, but which had the name first remains unknown, as does the provenance of either name. Cape Sidero is often not confined to the peninsula Sideros, but might refer to the entire northeast promontory.

In the Sea of Crete, just offshore to the west, are two small insular structures known as the Kyriamadi "islands" (which are hydrologically smaller than professionally defined islands and likely derive their name from the peninsula).

The Dionysades (Greek: Διονυσάδες, also Γιανυσάδες - Gianysades) is a small, northward-trending archipelago off the north coast of the island of Crete, mid-way between the Cape Sidero lighthouse to the southeast (from which they are about 12.61 km (7.84 mi) distant); and Sitia to the southwest (from which they are approximately 17.6 km (10.9 mi) distant).

It is currently the site of Agios Nikolaos, Crete. Lato pros Kamara was settled in the late Bronze Age as the population of Dorian Lato realised greater security. Its expanding population settled the coastal area, which had been subject to greater likelihood of marine attack during the earlier Bronze Age. Xenion, a Cretan historian quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium says that it was once called "Lato", however, modern scholarship distinguishes the two, placing Lato pros Kamara as the port of Lato.

Ο Ναός του Αφέντη Χριστού βρίσκεται στο νομό Λασιθίου, στο χωριό Χανδράς, στην περιοχή Παντέλι. Πιθανότατα ήταν καθολικό μονής για την οποία δεν έχουμε ιστορικές μαρτυρίες καθώς δεν συνδέεται άμεσα με κάποιον οικισμό αλλά με μικρές εγκαταστάσεις των οποίων σήμερα διατηρούνται ερείπια και χτίστηκε τον 13ο με 14ο αιώνα μ.Χ. Πρόκειται για μεγάλο σε σχέση με τα συνήθη δεδομένα της ανατολικής Κρήτης μονόχωρο καμαροσκέπαστο ναό διαστάσεων 5,75 Χ 8,50 μ. Το εσωτερικό του είναι κατάγραφο με τοιχογραφίες από το δογματικό, εορταστικό και λειτουργικό κύκλο που σώζονται σε σχετικά καλή κατάσταση. Επίσης περιλαμβάνει σπάνια θεματολογία αγιογραφιών που αφορούν την Παλαιά Διαθήκη και συγκεκριμένα την Γένεση, όπως και θεματολογία από λεπτομέρειες των ευαγγελικών διηγήσεων. Όλο το δυτικό τοίχο καταλαμβάνει μια παράσταση της Δευτέρας Παρουσίας, που διακόπτει τη σειρά των παραστάσεων της Γένεσης ο οποίος αναπτύσσεται σε ενιαία ζώνη στον βόρειο και νότιο τοίχο, κάτω από τον εορταστικό κύκλο. Το γεγονός ότι ο κύκλος της Δημιουργίας είναι εκτεταμένος με έμφαση την έξωση από τον Παράδεισο, δηλώνει ότι η τοποθέτησή του σε επαφή με την Δευτέρα Παρουσία είναι μια συνειδητή επιλογή των εμπνευστών του εικονογραφικού προγράμματος με ιδιαίτερο θεολογικό περιεχόμενο.
