carried with their uprooting. Fairy tales an sounds will be heard from other homelands such as: The snake tree from Smyrna, The shoemaker from Vourla,
Food is a custom from Choza stories, the ant and the camel, the snake from Smyrna. Narration and interpretation:

21:30 Concert with the Vamos Orchestra

The impact of Asia Minor music on the Greek music tradition and its evolution with the arrival of refugees has been huge. After 1922 this genre, genuine or transformed, spread to a wide
range of the population of Greece thanks to the phonograph.

The ensemble Vamos Orchestra redefines soft folk music and rebetiko with a more modern character, and uses this new musical timbre to show us how they sang for love, pain, poverty, etc.

City of Rethymno

You are invited to travel to areas, which are perhaps still unknown to the majority, and which are sometimes remote, but always magical and magnificent throughout the seasons. We recommend our visitors to see our picturesque villages through the eyes of the soul, try the Cretan cuisine, our wine and “tsikoudia”, participate in our revelries and festivities, but most importantly get to know our soul, our hospitality, the safe, untouched interior of the region, the other Rethymno.
