Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Crete
   now called Candia, one of the largest islands in the
   Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad. It was at one
   time a very prosperous and populous island, having a "hundred
   cities." The character of the people is described in Paul's
   quotation from "one of their own poets" (Epimenides) in his
   epistle to Titus: "The Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts,
   slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete were in Jerusalem on
   the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul
   on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27). Here Paul subsequently left
   Titus (1:5) "to ordain elders." Some have supposed that it was
   the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.) or Philistines.
