Back to newsA musical gathering took place in Anogia, the traditional mountain village in central Crete known for its deep-rooted Cretan music culture. The event featured "Dio Mavra Poukamica" (Two Black Shirts), a folk music act, performing alongside good company in what appears to have been a lively local evening. Anogia, situated at around 750 meters elevation on the slopes of Mount Psiloritis, is a popular destination for visitors interested in authentic Cretan music, weaving crafts, and village life. The village is approximately 50 km south of Heraklion and easily reached by car. Travelers looking to experience traditional lyra music and local hospitality should consider an evening visit, as informal musical gatherings like this are a regular part of life in Anogia.
