Palmer writes about the city's architecture, customs, and traditions, as well as its political and economic situation during his time there. He also provides insights into the daily lives of the people of Candia, describing their food, clothing, and social customs.One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Palmer's account of the Cretan Revolt of 1866-1869, which was a rebellion against Ottoman rule.
