Dimitris Anagnostakis at Moni Selinou — Panagia tis Keras Eve

Cretan lyra night in a Selino village taverna on the eve of the Nativity of the Virgin. Start time still to be confirmed.

The eve of the Nativity of the Theotokos, the Panagia tis Keras, and Moni Selinou marks it the way these villages always have: a taverna yard, a lyra, and however many people the yard holds. Dimitris Anagnostakis leads, with Giannis Gantadakis, Stelios Iliakis and Babis Gaitanakis behind him. This is a village night rather than a ticketed concert, so it begins when it begins and runs very late. No start time has been published anywhere, so ring the taverna on 6974100789 before you set out. Moni Selinou is a bit over an hour from Chania, inland from Paleochora, and the drive back is dark and winding, so plan for that.
