The Municipality of Phaistos, in the south-central part of Crete, has officially endorsed the initiative "We Listen, We Eat, We Drink Cretan." The campaign promotes authentic Cretan culture by encouraging locals and businesses to prioritize traditional Cretan music, food, and beverages. For visitors, this means the Phaistos region, home to the famous Minoan palace site, is actively supporting restaurants, tavernas, and venues that serve local products and feature live Cretan music.

The initiative reflects a broader effort across Crete to preserve culinary and musical heritage while giving visitors direct access to genuine local culture rather than generic tourist offerings.
