The Museum presents the exhibition “Stola, a garment of soul” by Vaggelis Kiri and Anatoli Georgief (“Stola” was the traditional garment of Romen women and it was usually made of wool) and the musical concert “Singing poetry at Eleutherna” with Maria Farantouri and Dimitris Katalifos. The concert starts right after the exhibition and it will take place in the external area of the museum in the enchanting open theatre.

Dimitris Katalifos expressed how thrilled and moved he feels to be part of this unique celebration and he mentioned that the presence, the personality and the speech of the director of the museum, Nikos Stabolidis, is of the utmost importance.

Maria Farantouri considers that the coexistence of poetry, music and antiquities in Ancient Eleutherna is a marvelous cultural event. Maria Farantouri is a performer on a global scale and she has transmitted, through her voice, the spiritual values regarding the Greek cultural heritage of modern times.

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.
