Kandylakia A common sight in Crete are the small metal or stone constructions at  the sides of the roads, often in the form of a miniature church. These  are memorials for people killed in a car accident and they are  located  at the exact spot where the accident occurred.  They are constructed by the family of the deceased and  inside there is usually a photo together with some religious objects.  The families visit them often, clean and maintain them and light the  candles. They exist in all different kinds of shapes and materials used.
