An Unforgettable Night of Cretan Music, Culture & CelebrationMusic has always been a spontaneous and heartfelt part of life in Crete. It only takes a few people gathered together, a round of raki, and the rhythm of the island to ignite an evening of music, singing, and dancing.
While Crete has produced many legendary musicians, the most internationally renowned is Mikis Theodorakis, whose iconic composition “Zorba’s Dance”—a variation of the traditional Syrtos dance—became famous worldwide as Syrtaki.
Now, we invite you to immerse yourself in this rich musical tradition with a truly special evening in the picturesque village of Kyparissi, just 25 km from Heraklion. Hosted at the renowned tavern and open-air theater of Yannis Somarakis, this event features an unforgettable live performance of traditional Cretan and Greek music, along with beloved songs from America and Russia.
