An international academic conference on religious fundamentalism will take place on July 2 and 3 at the Orthodox Academy of Crete, located in the village of Kolympari on the western tip of the island, near Chania. This is the 2nd edition of the conference organized by the International Observatory of Religious Fundamentalism, bringing together scholars and researchers from around the world to discuss the topic. The Orthodox Academy of Crete is a respected cultural and religious institution open to visitors, set in a scenic coastal location. Tourists staying in the Chania region may notice increased academic and clerical visitors during those dates. The event is not a public festival, but the Kolympari area itself is worth a visit for its quiet beaches and traditional Cretan atmosphere, easily reached by car from Chania in about 25 minutes.
