Founding history
The long-standing plans to found a university in Crete entered a decisive phase in the 1960s. The Cretan cities bitterly fought over the seat of the university. General Stylianos Pattakos , originally from Rethymno, who , as Interior Minister for a long time, was the “second man” of the Greek military regime from 1967, managed to have the seat assigned to his hometown.
This decision was called into question again after the collapse of junta rule in 1974. Prime Minister Konstantin Karamanlis resolved the dispute through a compromise: Heraklion received the medical and scientific faculties and Rethymno the humanities faculties of the University of Crete , Chania became the seat of the State Technical University of Crete ( Greek Πολυτεχνίο Κρήτης , "polytechnic").
The Technical University, which was formally founded in 1977, began teaching in 1984 as the second TU in Greece. On a campus site between the city of Chania and the Akrotiri peninsula east of Chania , in the municipality of the same name, numerous modern university buildings have been erected, which - rather rare in Greece - represent impressive examples of modern architecture.
