Rethymno is famous for one thing, its cuisine...
As the birthplace of so many classic Cretan delicacies, Rethymno has become a destination for foodies all over the world due to its unbeatable access to some of the freshest ingredients that create unique flavors that can take over the most demanding taster. 
A wide range of cheeses, its locally produced wines and raki and a variety of traditional dishes, like cheese and green pies, based on the well known Cretan Diet and cuisine and the pure Cretan olive oil are just a few steps away.
Live a Panigiri experience which is the village festival, a celebration, and feast with wine, live music and dancing combined all together with great success.

Visit the village of Adele - Agia Paraskevi and until the Panigiri, you’ll have some time on your hands which you can spend strolling around the village, seeing the sights and visiting the local church.
It's an exclusive opportunity to experience this celebration which is part of the Cretan culture.

Set in primary school yard this "panigiri" is a  local celebration inviting locals and visitors to partake in the festivity.
Local wine and delicacies to the sounds of live bands by Antonis Martakis, making the whole event a big attraction for local people who love to gather there and dance, while at the same time it can provide great entertainment for visitors also. The essence of this celebration impregnated with the Cretan hospitality is that “all are welcome” and treated like family, participating body and soul in the commemoration.
Expect to hear lots of Mantinades, the Cretan folklore poems which are being shaped on spot, creating a very festive atmosphere and dynamic vibe.


After all, panigiri is a unique chance for all those who want to overstep the boundaries of typical tourism and want to enrich their holidays with experiences that overcome them.

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.
