Cretans express their feelings, not only in words, but also through music, singing, and dancing. So, let yourself be drawn into the Cretan and Greek joy of living and join us in the traditional village of Kato Karouzana which is located at the heart of Crete, for a Cretan night show that is bound to be unforgettable.
Upon arriving in the traditional village of Karouzana, you have the time to explore it, walk through its narrow alleys, smell the beautiful aromas of the night flowers and the jasmine, that are all over the place, and receive the traditional Cretan hospitality –and the treats- of the locals.
Later on, you are invited to a feast that celebrates tradition and the rich produce of the Cretan soil. Taste the delicious dishes of Crete with the cheese, the rusk, the virgin olive oil, the meat, the honey, the fresh vegetables, and sip the home-made Cretan wine and raki, while listening to the sounds of the lyre and lute, watching the precise steps of the dancers, the acrobatic movements of the men, the colorful Cretan costumes of the women and the austere national dress of the men.
