Tsikoudia Festival in Kandanos with Antonis Petroulakis and Giorgos Psaroudakis

Raki season in the hills of Selino: a Cretan night with lyra, laouto and a full menu in Kandanos. €20, children €10.

November is when the kazania fire up across Crete and the year's tsikoudia comes off the still, and Kandanos marks it the village way. The Kantania cultural association holds its Tsikoudia Festival in the old town hall, now the village's cultural centre, on Saturday 7 November from 21:00. Antonis Petroulakis and Giorgos Psaroudakis play the night, pictured on the poster with lyra and laouto. Entry is €20 including a full menu and €10 for children, so come hungry; Kandanos sits in the hills of Selino on the road down to Paleochora.
