    I don't believe anyone can say for sure, but it is reasonable to say everywhere across the Mediterranean Sea. The Minoan civilization was a very successful and influential maritime power with trade ties and cultural influence all over the Middle Sea. Therefore I imagine that the survivors likely settled in Phonecia (Lebanon, Israel), Egypt, Greece, Libya, Turkey, Italy (including Sicily), Illyria (Albania, Croatia, Bosnia), and others. Even the Ukraine isn't an unlikely answer.

    I would have thought that a majority of the land based Minoans would have perished. This would have left only merchants on ships either in foreign ports or riding the waves at sea.

    well crete was always a part of greece, so let us not make the distinction between greece and the greek islands. I say this because in england i heard something good. I asked a girl if she had ever visited greece and she said no i haven't but i have visited the greek islands. So this means that i never went to Great Britain, i went to england.
