Where is Minoa today?

Um. Per Minoa, there are several sites that have been known as Minoa, mostly in the Aegean.  But in the sense Minoa is used on Quora, as a shorthand for “site of the Minoan civilisation”, that would be Crete.

In fact, since the Classical survival of non-Hellenic Eteocretan language  was in easternmost Crete, where I hail from, I could well say Minoa today is Lasithi preferecture—though that presupposes that Eteocretan is the same as Minoan.

What island did the Minoans inhabit?  is a similar question.
