Chestnut Festival — Vlatos, Limni and Myloi

Three days across Limni, Vlatos and Myloi, with the main Cretan glenti on Sunday from 12:00 in Myloi square. Free entry.

The chestnut villages of Inachori close the autumn in western Kissamos with three days spread across Limni, Vlatos and Myloi. Friday starts at 18:30 in the former Limni primary school with an information evening for pet owners, then a laiko night with Valentinos Martselakis at 21:00, alongside a photography exhibition. Saturday moves to the Vlatos parish centre: a talk on the chestnut wasp at 19:00, the council's new tourism campaign at 20:00, and art-rock from o Kochler kai oi KrataRe at 21:00. The main day is Sunday from 12:00 in Myloi square, a traditional glenti with Giorgos Stratakis and his band, with the Kissamos Vrakofori group and the Cretan dance society I Kissamos dancing and an open-air show of local produce. It is organised by the Municipality of Kissamos with the communities of Elos and Vlatos and the Vlatos cultural association Neoi Orizontes. Entry is free. From Chania it is well over an hour's drive, so make Sunday a whole day out.
