Sunday, 3 May 2026/Haniotika Nea/1 
Chania-based painter Kostas Spanakis opens his new exhibition "POPeye" on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at 20:30 at the Megalo Arsenali (Great Arsenal) in Chania. The show is a mini retrospective featuring 12 of his most recent works. Spanakis is a well-known local artist, and this exhibition is a good opportunity for visitors to engage with contemporary Cretan visual art in one of Chania's most striking historical venues. The Megalo Arsenali is a restored Venetian-era waterfront building located in the Old Harbour area, easily walkable from the city center. The opening night is free to attend and open to the public. Check local listings for subsequent opening hours during the exhibition run.
