Nice chat guys. I am one of them that you are talking about. my both sides mother and father Cretan background Muslims but when I did my DNA test in USA the result became %64 Greek/Italian %6 European Jewish %20 Caucasian and %10 Middle eastern so it explains all the story clearly I think :)

@@stantinosPalaiologos-xi7fj Yes, you are right, Turks were still there then, until the exchange between Turkey and Greece. There are a lot of originally Cretan Turkish people in Turkey, especially from Hanya.

@@stantinosPalaiologos-xi7fj I understand, At the same time, Turks and Greeks married many times in Crete. This situation is not seen in other islands.... There is a Greek culture in Crete from those who come to Turkey... Very mix very very:)
