Back to newsThe 11th Amari Green Festival is taking place in the Amari Valley, a scenic inland area of the Rethymno regional unit in central Crete. This annual cultural event celebrates Cretan traditions, local gastronomy, music, and the natural environment of one of the island's most unspoiled regions. The festival brings together local communities, artisans, and producers to showcase authentic Cretan heritage through storytelling, food, and folk culture. For visitors, it offers a rare opportunity to experience rural Cretan life away from the coastal tourist circuit. The Amari Valley is approximately 30 kilometers south of Rethymno town and is accessible by car via the E75 highway. Check local listings or the Rethymno municipality website for confirmed dates and the specific village hosting this year's edition.
