Phoenix is a city port on the south coast of Crete. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
# to spend the winter there
This speaks about the season of winter as if it were a commodity that someone can spend. AT: "to stay there for the cold season" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

Here "faces northeast and southeast" means the opening of the harbor was toward those directions. AT: "it opened to the northeast and southeast"

# northeast and southeast
2017-10-19 18:09:02 +00:00
These directions are based on the rising and setting sun. Northeast is a little to the left of the rising sun. Southeast is a little to the right of the rising sun. Some versions say "northwest and southwest."
