Is this traditional Greek music? Do you know more songs like this or the genre? I was lucky enough to hear 3 locals in Agios Nikolaos playing songs like these for a few hours and it sounded amazing, I want to learn more about it.

Looking to buy a goat can anyone tell me how much they cost please and where I would get one - it’s for a pet

Hi. I am searching for more information on this feast celebration. Would someone have experience visiting, or know of a schedule or website resource?

The 22-year-old young Cretan pianist Konstantinos Katsoulis, with studies in conducting, presents a virtuoso piano recital that balances between the solo and the orchestral elements. At the heart of the evening are the musical forms (forme musicali), which are the basis of musical expression in every era. Although the composers start from the same traditional structures (such as the sonata and the fugue), they manage to create unique sound effects, capturing their personal style and the spirit of their era.

Hi, we (34 m and f) arrived yesterday in Heraklion. Today we noticed that there seem to be a lot of left wing people. Judging by the number of antifa graffity and the amount of alternative people. But all we seem to find are touristy places. Maybe yall can help us find some nice more alternative places to have a drink/dance/bite to eat. I figured the local reddit people know more than google.

I know there is the Cretan State flag but I'm sure that isn't a good Cretan flag to represent Crete. Just to let you know I'm not from Greece; I'm mainly asking this question since I want to collect regional flags of countries as I like vexillology.

I am Cretan-American, and will be visiting Chania during Holy Week for the first time since all my cousins have left Crete. Without family, so no big Easter celebration, I am wondering what my friends and I should do on Easter? Will any restaurants be open, or should we plan to make our own meal that day? Also, if you know of any Holy Week celebrations in villages around Chania, I’d love to hear about them. Καλό Πάσχα και ευχαριστώ.

Hi!

I hope it is the right place to ask this question. I bought a mountain tea from a local street vendor and I would like to confirm it is a mountain tea and what kind of herb it is. In addition, if anyone here know how to brew it correctly?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi

Long story short - im half Greek and i dont live in Crete, but my father does and he has been hospitalized. Can anyone give me a quick breakdown of the structure in the hospital regarding a stay in the hospital. Im thinking about how are the doctors connected to the system and nurses and what kind of services they usually offer and what is expected from the family?

Is this a common part of the culture here? My partner and I are on vacation and at both dinners we've had, we were brought free deserts, and at one place Raki. Is this relatively standard?

It's been a culinary and hospitality dream.

Title is a bit of a joke, but I am currently chilling on the beach in Rethymnon, going on a boat trip to Santorini tomorrow, and flying home on Friday. I am really really enjoying not doing much, but also would love to see the Labyrinth particularly.

I want maximum tanning time, so would ideally like to get a bus to Knossos early morning on Wednesday, and come back around lunchtime.

Does this sound realistic?

(We have already paid for Santorini so we can’t cancel, even though tbh I would rather spend the full day in Knossos than Santorini.)

Thank you!!!

My friend and I are travelling end of october to Creta and was thinking if we can include this in our activities?

Is it customary not giving two shits about noise - even on weekends - early in the morning and late in the night?

hello, I was wondering wether anyone knew if there was a particular car scene in Crete? what do people drive there, are they into their cars there? or maybe motorbikes?

Hi everyone. Visiting Crete end of October, beginning of November which I’ve been told is prime Raki season. Looking for suggestions on getting my hands on some potentially right from the still rather than just a store. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hey! I'm looking for places that play live Jazz on the island. Hibbt is a guitarist and would love to find a jam session or some other musicians to connect with during our visit at the end of August.

We’re going out to western Crete in a few weeks for the first time in many years. We are hoping to hear some live local music while we’re there. Can anyone advise on the best we to find out what’s on and where?

We have been travelling round Crete for the past fortnight and have come for a one night stay in Kissamos to visit Balos. It is completely deserted but has loads of accommodation. Was it ever busy here or does it get busier at different points in the year? It’s a bit creepy walking round!
