"The island of Crete (Ottoman Turkish: \u06AF\u0631\u06CC\u062A; Gir\u012Bt\u200E) was declared an Ottoman province (eyalet) in 1646, after the Ottomans managed to conquer the western part of the island as part of the Cretan War, but the Venetians maintained their hold on the capital Candia until 1669, when Francesco Morosini surrendered the keys of the town."@en .
