If you visit Crete this Summer, and you are a collector it will be like finding your personal Eldorado....
Crete had a strong allied and axis presence. Villagers have kept some memorabilia from the Battle and from german occupation, therefore if you ask around you might find a treasure...
If, however, you do not, you can visit a shop in the old town of Rethymnon.
There among other tourist attractions you will find a small shop with antiques, if you take the trouble to go inside and look around is THE place for militaria.
Many old cretans had souvenirs from killed german paratroopers, there you will find a lot!!!
Helmets, hats, belts, buckles, books, medals, you name it! This guy wanders in the near or mountainous villages and looks for these stuff. Also, if your interest in antiques is general, it is guaranteed that you will find nice pieces.
Very honest, not very cheap, but not expensive either...
If interested please send a comment to send you the address!
