Tsikoudia Distillation Night in Souda with Nikos Dimotakis

Souda's cultural association fires up the raki still: tsikoudia, Nikos Dimotakis on lyra and three dance groups, from 18:00.

November is kazani season, when the copper stills come out and the first tsikoudia of the year runs warm, and Souda's Cultural Association (going since 1983) is throwing its own distillation night in the courtyard of the Traditional Cretan House. Nikos Dimotakis leads the music, and three local dance groups take turns on the floor: Arodamos, the Pontic Greeks' association Romania, and Orfeas, the Northern Greeks' club. It is a proper neighbourhood evening rather than a show, so expect raki from the still, plenty of dancing and the whole of Souda turning out. Things start at 18:00; no entry price is published.
